How to Say ‘We have accepted your reservation.’ in Japanese

承りました。

uketamawari mashi ta

[oo-keh-tah-mah-ree mah-shee tah]

💬 Usage Tip: [承りました] is a very polite service phrase meaning "we have received / accepted that." You'll hear it when staff confirm reservations, orders, or requests.

🇯🇵 In Japan: This is standard customer-service language and sounds more formal than everyday conversation. You're much more likely to hear staff say it than to use it yourself as a customer.

What Learners Are Saying

Teaching in Osaka and I wanted to connect with my students beyond the classroom. The everyday conversation scenarios made my Japanese feel natural, not textbook-y.

Mia S., 25, English Teacher

Moved to Tokyo and the polite vs. casual speech levels were killing me. This app breaks it all down with real scenarios. My coworkers noticed the difference in weeks.

Kevin Z., 31, Game Developer

I tried five different apps before this one. The roleplay conversations are what finally made things click. I actually remember what I learn now.
