Favourite Japanese puzzles...

There are loads of Japanese type puzzles out there, some of which are rarer than others.

Which are people's favourites? We might try to add some here!

Puzzles include
Kakuro
Futoshiki
Fillomino
Nurikabe
Shikaku (or is it Sikaku?)
Masyu
Heyawake
Yajilin

Any others...

Re : Favourite Japanese puzzles

My favourite is probably futoshiki - doesn't take too long to solve, but adds an interesting extra piece of logic through the greater than and less than signs.

Another vote for futoshiki.

I don't know why, but you don't really see much of it about do you?

I mean I have seen some in the occasional magazine, but there are very few in print.

You basically have to come online in order to play futoshiki, there is a decent selection here:
