Description

Today we look at another essential part of making a good first impression in a Japanese business: bowing etiquette.
If you have ever been to Japan or watched anything from or about the country, you may have noticed just how frequently Japanese people bow in social situations. Some of the more common situations where bowing takes place include salutations, apologizing, gratitude, and, of course, when introducing yourself. So today I will walk you through the basic mechanics of how to bow well in Japan.

Today’s phrase:
a-ri-ga-to-u-go-za-i-ma-su
ありがとうございます
Meaning: Thank you. [polite]
