Question
I’m currently in Japan on a business trip and I have a meeting next week. I want to make sure that the other party can visit our office. How do I say “Could you come to our office next Tuesday?” in Japanese?

来週（らいしゅう）の火曜日（かようび）に私（わたし）たちのオフィスに来（き）ていただけますか。
Raishuu no kayoubi ni watashitachi no ofisu ni kite itadakemasu ka?
Could you come to our office next Tuesday?
In business settings, politeness is key. Using 来ていただけますか (kite itadakemasu ka) shows respect and politeness, equivalent to “could you please come” in English.
Here’s a breakdown of the phrase:
– 来週 (raishuu) means “next week”
– 火曜日 (kayoubi) refers to “Tuesday”
– 私たちのオフィス (watashitachi no ofisu) means “our office”
– 来て (kite) is the te-form of 来る (kuru), meaning “to come”
– いただけますか (itadakemasu ka) is a polite request form, asking “could you please”
You can adjust the day or location accordingly by replacing those parts in the phrase.
