Gold Rule

Business Trip Confirmation

Always use 決まる (kimaru) when the trip is officially confirmed by someone in authority. Do not use 決める (kimeru, 'to decide') here, as it implies the speaker is the one making the decision.

Word Origin

出張 (しゅっちょう, shucchō) combines 出 (しゅつ, shutsu, 'to go out') and 張 (ちょう, chō, 'to extend/visit'). 決まる (きまる, kimaru) means 'to be decided/fixed.' The phrase literally means 'the going-out-and-extending has been decided,' referring to an official trip being arranged.

Usage Notes

This phrase is typically used in formal or business contexts to indicate that a work-related trip has been officially approved. It is not used for personal travel. The verb 決まる (kimaru) implies a decision has been made by an authority or through a formal process.
