Question
I’m traveling to Kyoto next month and plan to experience a traditional tea ceremony. I’m worried I might not understand the instructions given by the instructor in Japanese. How can I politely ask if there are English instructions available?

英語（えいご）での説明（せつめい）はありますか。
Eego de no setsumei wa arimasu ka?
Are there instructions available in English?
This phrase is useful when you want to check if there’s information or guidance available in English, especially during cultural experiences like a tea ceremony.
Eego de means “in English”; setsumei refers to “instructions” or “explanation”; and arimasu ka is a polite way to ask if something exists or is available.
Remember this expression “eego de no service/information wa arimasu ka?” for similar situations where you need English assistance.
