Question
I’m traveling to Japan for a business meeting and I need to ensure everything is in order for my presentation. I’m planning to ask the hotel staff if there’s a business center where I can print some documents. How do I say “Is there a business center where I can print documents?” in Japanese?

Is there a business center where I can print documents?
In preparation for business meetings in Japan, confirming access to facilities like a business center is crucial. The phrase “insatsu dekiru” is a combination of “insatsu” (print) and “dekiru” (can do), meaning “where printing is possible”. “Bijinesu sentaa” means “business center”.
You can use this structure to inquire about other services by swapping out “insatsu dekiru” with the desired action. For example, if you need to make calls, you could say “denwa dekiru” (can make calls).
Remember, being able to clearly communicate your needs in Japanese can make your business trip smoother and more successful!
