Question
I’m attending a business meeting in Tokyo next week, and I want to make a good impression by thanking the host after the meeting. How do I say “Thank you for today’s meeting” in Japanese?

本日（ほんじつ）の会議（かいぎ）、ありがとうございました。
Honjitsu no kaigi, arigatou gozaimashita.
Thank you for today’s meeting.
This expression is a polite way to thank someone for the meeting you attended. Honjitsu means “today”; no kaigi means “meeting”; and arigatou gozaimashita is the past tense of “thank you” in a formal context.
Feel free to adjust this phrase for different events by replacing “kaigi” with words like “プレゼンテーション” (presentation) or “イベント” (event). Remember that showing gratitude can leave a positive impression and foster better professional relationships.
