Question
I’m traveling to Japan for business and have a meeting scheduled with a Japanese company. I want to make a good impression by greeting my counterparts properly. How do I say “Nice to meet you, I look forward to working with you” in Japanese?

Hajimemashite, yoroshiku onegaishimasu.
Nice to meet you, I look forward to working with you.
In business settings in Japan, it’s important to use polite language to show respect. “Hajimemashite” is used when you’re meeting someone for the first time, and “yoroshiku onegaishimasu” is a versatile expression that conveys your willingness to cooperate and work well together.
This phrase can be used in a variety of situations, not just in business, when you’re hoping for a positive relationship. Remember to bow slightly as you say these phrases to show politeness and respect.
