How to Say ‘The name on the reservation’ in Japanese

ご予約のお名前

go yoyaku no o namae

[goh yoh-yah-koo noh oh nah-mah-eh]

💬 Usage Tip: Here [の] links two nouns again: [ご予約のお名前] is literally "the reservation's name," meaning the name on the reservation. This pattern is common in service Japanese: [ホテルの名前], [会社のお名前].

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.
