Question
I’m planning my first business trip to Japan and I have a meeting at my company’s Tokyo branch. I want to confirm the meeting time in Japanese. How do I politely ask, “What time is the meeting?” in Japanese?

What time is the meeting?
This is a common and polite expression to confirm the timing of a meeting. “Kaigi” means “meeting” and “nanji” means “what time”. You can use this phrase in various business settings to confirm meeting times.
If you need to specify which meeting you’re referring to, you can add more context such as “東京（とうきょう）の会議は何時ですか” (Tōkyō no kaigi wa nanji desuka?) which means “What time is the Tokyo meeting?”
