Question
I’m traveling to Japan for business next month and have my first meeting set with a Japanese client. I want to make a good impression. How do I say “I look forward to working with you” in Japanese?

Yoroshiku onegai shimasu.
I look forward to working with you.
This phrase is a very versatile Japanese expression that can be used formally and informally, and it’s often used to express anticipation of future cooperation. Yoroshiku essentially means “please take care of me” or “let’s have a good working relationship,” and onegai shimasu makes it more polite.
In a business context, saying yoroshiku onegai shimasu at the end of introductions or emails implies that you look forward to working together. It’s a good phrase to know to show respect and build rapport with Japanese colleagues or clients. Practice using it to smoothly integrate into Japanese business culture.
