Overview
CJKI’s Korean-Japanese Database of Place Names (KJP) is a bilingual dictionary that covers Korean, Chinese, Japanese, and Western place names. KJP includes romanized equivalents in all major romanization systems, as well as hanja (Chinese characters used in Korean) for Korean place names.
This data was compiled on the basis of precise transcription and transliteration rules, and verified by our Korean editors. It supports the Revised Romanization of Korean, the latest standard published by the Korean government in 2000.
