Question
I recently started a job in Japan and often need to send emails to colleagues. I want to make sure I’m being polite and professional. How do I say “Thank you for your prompt response” in Japanese for email communication?

Jinsoku na gohenshin arigatou gozaimasu.
Thank you for your prompt response.
In Japanese business communication, politeness and formality are important. The phrase “jinsoku na” means “prompt” or “quick,” and “gohenshin” means “response.” Adding “arigatou gozaimasu” shows gratitude in a formal setting.
You can use this phrase to politely thank colleagues or clients for their timely replies in emails. Adjust the level of formality based on your relationship with the recipient. This expression can help convey respect and professionalism in your workplace interactions.
