Question
I’m visiting Japan for a business meeting and I want to make sure I greet everyone properly during my self-introduction. How do I say “Nice to meet you, I look forward to working with you” in Japanese?

Hajimemashite, douzo yoroshiku onegaishimasu.
Nice to meet you, I look forward to working with you.
In business settings in Japan, greetings and introductions are considered very important. “Hajimemashite” is used when meeting someone for the first time, equivalent to “Nice to meet you”. “Douzo yoroshiku onegaishimasu” is a common phrase that can mean “Please treat me well” or “I look forward to working with you”, conveying good intentions and cooperation.
When introducing yourself in a business context, use “Hajimemashite” at the beginning of your introduction and “Douzo yoroshiku onegaishimasu” at the end to give a polite and professional first impression.
