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

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

Today’s phrase is :

I just arrived in / at _ .

今 _ に着いたとこ。

 ima _ ni tsuitatoko

If you want to speak politely, you can say :

今 _ に着いたところです。

 ima _ ni tsuitatokorodesu

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

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

  • station = 駅 eki

今駅に着いたとこ。

 ima ekini tsuitatoko

Or politely :

今駅に着いたところです。

 ima ekini tsuitatokorodesu

  • I just arrived = わたしは今着いたところです watashiwa ima tsuitatokorodesu
  • 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 今着いたところです
I just arrived
