How do you say "Is this the right direction?" in Japanese?

Quick use

Use このほうこうでいいですか (kono houkou de ii desu ka) when you are not sure whether this direction is correct.

Chunk or pattern

• Reusable pattern: 〜 で / いいですか
• In this phrase, このほうこうで means “in this direction.”
• Useful station swaps: このホームで, このせんで, このでんしゃで.

Core words

• ほうこう: direction.
• いいですか: is it okay / is it right?

Helper words and endings

Practical note

This is safer than guessing at large stations, especially when platforms serve trains going in opposite directions.
