ATOK's basic plan will be discontinued and all will become 'Premium' with a price increase of twice as much for some people. It will also be compatible with Arm and will be able to run on Windows machines equipped with Snapdragon.
The flat-rate plan 'ATOK Passport' for using the Japanese input system 'ATOK' has been changed, with the previously separate plans being consolidated into two plans. As a result, the lower-priced plans will be discontinued, effectively raising prices. The consolidated plan will include access to 'ATOK MiRA,' a writing assistant that utilizes generative AI.

Starting November 25, 2025, the 'ATOK Passport' plans will be consolidated into 'ATOK Passport [Premium]' and will be offered in two plans: 660 yen per month or 7,920 yen per year (660 yen x 12 months).
As a result, 'ATOK Passport [Basic]' and 'ATOK for Windows/ATOK for Mac,' which were offered for 330 yen per month, and 'ATOK for Android,' which was offered for 480 yen per month, will be discontinued, and users will be required to switch to 'ATOK Passport [Premium].'
'Basic' users will be automatically promoted to 'Premium' on January 8, 2026, and will be able to use Premium for 330 yen per month during January, but will be charged 660 yen per month from February 1 onwards.
'ATOK for Windows/ATOK for Mac' users will be able to use the service for 330 yen per month until January 31, 2026, after which the service will end. 'ATOK for Android' users will no longer be able to renew their subscription after December 24, 2025. Users who are using these plans and wish to continue using ATOK will need to sign up for a new 'ATOK Passport [Premium]' subscription.
With 'ATOK Passport [Premium],' you can use all services such as ATOK for Windows, ATOK for Mac, ATOK for Android [Professional], and ATOK for iOS [Professional], as well as cloud services such as ATOK MiRA, ATOK Sync One synchronization and backup, ATOK Keyword Express, cloud proofreading, and cloud translation and conversion in eight languages, as well as cloud dictionaries such as Kojien 7th Edition, Daijirin, Wisdom English-Japanese Dictionary 4th Edition, Wisdom Japanese-English Dictionary 3rd Edition,
' ATOK MiRA (My Intelligent Rewrite Assistant) ' is a writing assistant that combines ATOK's Japanese language processing technology with a generation AI that matches the user's input habits and settings to suggest sentences tailored to the user. Users can seamlessly interact with the generation AI as an extension of their input operations, and simply select standard commands such as 'business style' or 'more detail,' and the AI can revise and summarize text, generate ideas, and even rewrite sentences. It is scheduled to be available for ATOK for Windows in February 2026, and for other operating systems from June 2026 onwards.
In addition, the service that synchronizes user data, 'ATOK Sync AP,' will be renewed to a service called 'ATOK Sync One' from June 2026. Data will be automatically transferred.
Additionally, the app now supports Qualcomm's Snapdragon X series processors, allowing users to input Japanese characters in Arm native apps (ARM64) on the Arm version of Windows 11. Several new and additional features are also planned, including support for emojis up to Unicode 17.0 and smoother input of colloquial writing.
