This week let’s learn a word which is very useful while traveling.
“Yoyaku” (予約) which means “reservation” in Japanese.
Let’s see how to use it!
“Reservation” is a word you can't ignore if you’re going on a trip.
It could be for reserving a hotel, a restaurant, a show, or anything else in particular.
When entering a hotel, you’ll be asked:
“Yoyaku ga arimasu ka?”
“Do you have a reservation?”
You can answer like this for example :
“Tanaka de yoyaku shimashita.”
“I reserved under the name Tanaka.”
If you want to book a show or a guided tour, it might be written “yoyaku hitsuyô” (予約必要) which means “reservation required”.
For reserving a restaurant, you can ask by phone :
“Yoyaku shitai desu.”
“I want to make a reservation”
When you’ll arrive, there’ll be a small “yoyaku” (予約) panel or note on your table.
Please remember this word if you visit Japan on your own!
