How do I get a normal Japanese kana keyboard on iPad?

Question

Japanese people and those who use Japanese to type are probably aware that there are two ways to type Japanese on the computer: rōmaji and kana. I quit using the rōmaji format years ago and switched to kana, on the U.S. keyboard, however.
I recently bought my first iPad, the iPad Air, and quickly set my languages to Japanese and added Japanese kana keyboard.
I tried typing Japanese with this kana keyboard, but when I saw how the keys were lined, I was like, ***!! They are not in the keyboard format I am used to using. Instead, the keys are lined in a chart format, going in phonetic order, which I find very unnatural to use. I want to use a regular kana keyboard—I believe it's called the JIS format or something—on my iPad without buying extra hardware, but there doesn't seem to be a way to enable that in settings. Is there a hack or (free←important!) app that does that, or do I have to complain to Apple and wait?
I am currently using the rōmaji format which I find really annoying to use, especially on touch screen keyboards because I have to tap more and have a greater chance to mistype compared to the kana keyboard to get the same character.

Hacks violate the license, so you will need to look for them elsewhere than in Apple's forums.  But you can tell Apple you want this via

I don't recall any other postings asking for JIS Kana layout on the screen since iOS was released in 2007, but I could have missed some.
You can of course have this via a JIS bluetooth keyboard.
