Question
I’m planning a business trip to Japan and want to ensure I have the correct addresses for my taxi. How do I say, “Please take me to this address” in Japanese when I show the taxi driver the address on my phone?

Kono juusho made onegaishimasu.
Please take me to this address.
When taking a taxi in Japan, it’s common to show the driver the address on your phone or a piece of paper. By saying “Kono juusho made onegaishimasu,” you are politely asking the driver to take you to the location. “Kono” means “this”, “juusho” means “address”, and “made” indicates “to (a place)”. “Onegaishimasu” is a polite way of saying “please”. This phrase is very practical for taxis or when asking for directions.
