How to Say “I arrived in / at _ .” in Japanese

How do you say “I arrived at the airport.” in Japanese?

Today’s phrase is :

I arrived in / at _ .

_ に着いたよ。

 _ ni tsuitayo

If you want to speak politely, you can say :

_ に着きました。

 _ ni tsukimashita

When you want to say “I arrived in / at _ .”, put the place where you are just before “に ni”.

For example, if you want to say “I arrived at the airport.”, you can say like this :

  • airport = 空港 kuukou*

*We pronounce “kuukou” like “kūkō“.

空港に着いたよ。

 kuukouni tsuitayo

Or politely :

空港に着きました。

 kuukouni tsukimashita

  • I arrived = わたしは着いた watashiwa tsuita
  • in … = … に … ni
  • at … = … に … ni

We do not usually say “わたしは watashiwa (= I)” in everyday conversation.


… に
in / at …

わたしは 着いたよ
I arrived
