Pro Tip

Distinguish from 赴任地

赴任先 emphasizes the destination itself, while 赴任地 can refer to the region or area more broadly. 赴任先 is more commonly used in modern business contexts.

Word Origin

Composed of 赴任 (ふにん, 'transfer to a new post') and 先 (さき, 'place'), indicating the destination of the transfer.

Usage Notes

Used in formal or business contexts to specify the location of a work transfer. Often implies a significant change in workplace, sometimes involving relocation.
