Sightseeing in Japanese — FAQ
What do you say for sightseeing in Japanese?
Japanese Talk's Sightseeing (観光) scene walks you through it line by line. For example, you'll learn: こんにちは。何かお手伝いできることはありますか。 (Konnichiwa. Nanika otetsudai dekiru koto wa arimasu ka.) — "Hello. Is there anything I can help you with?"; こちらが無料の地図です。どうぞお使いください。 (Kochira ga muryō no chizu desu. Dōzo otsukai kudasai.) — "Here's a free map. Please feel free to use it."; 今日は何を見たいですか。 (Kyō wa nani o mitai desu ka.) — "What would you like to see today?". Every line comes with romaji, an English translation and native audio.
Which Japanese phrases will I learn in the sightseeing scene?
Key phrases include こんにちは。何かお手伝いできることはありますか。 (Konnichiwa. Nanika otetsudai dekiru koto wa arimasu ka.) — "Hello. Is there anything I can help you with?". The full scene is 10 lessons of 110 sentences covering the whole situation from start to finish.
Is there any etiquette I should know for sightseeing in Japan?
Yes — Tourist passes save money. Many areas sell a one-day pass that covers local buses and trains and gives discounts at attractions. Ask at the information desk — if you plan to visit a few places, it often pays for itself. Japanese Talk adds a short culture note like this on the lines that need one.
Is the sightseeing scene free?
Lesson 1 is free with a free account (no credit card), and the Greeting scene is completely free with no sign-up. Full Access (US$5/month) opens all 10 lessons of every scene.
