Akemashite omedeto gozaimasu! (Happy New Year!) The old year has gone! I feel totally refreshed in the new year. For a traditional "Hatsumode" New Year's visit to a shrine, my family and I visited Samukawa Shrine, a majestic Shinto shrine near Camp Zama.
Now, let's exchange our new year greetings with our family and friends in Japanese.
Today's Japanese phrase:
“Kotoshimo yoroshiku onegasi shimasu!” 今年もよろしくお願いします! = I look forward to your continued good will in the new year!
“kotoshi" 今年 = this year, "mo" も = also, "yoroshiku" よろしく = good care, "onegai shimasu" お願いします = Please give me
I wish you a blessed, happy new year. I hope you will keep watching our videos to learn more Japanese phrases this year.
Kotoshimo yoroshiku onegai shimasu!
