Just being very polite is more important than what you actually say. Make sure you bring a gift. Let your girlfriend do most of the talking. Don’t make a big effort to ‘convince’ them, you’ll just end up putting them into argument mode and then you’ll have that much more trouble. As you probably already know, Japanese tend to be very respectful to elders and parents. Just show that you understand that with your actions and you will make a good impression. If you go there and tell them why they are ‘wrong’ about opposing the marriage you will end up making a very bad impression. Then, even if you do get married, her parents will probably remain angry for a long time.

If you still want to say something in Japanese, ask your girlfriend what she thinks you should say. She knows her parents, whereas no one on this message board does.

I know this sound kinda like a movie (big fat Greek wedding)but why don’t you try explaining to them that even though you are not Japanese we are all similar to each other no mater what culture/race you are. (especially since you are Asian) Explain that you want the best for her, that you want to keep the Japanese culture alive in your life with her (children) explain how much you love her. Be yourself! Don’t talk like you have rehearsed the lines to a play. As for the Japanese language ask her how to say the things you want to say of if not go online and get it translated.

As you would already know Japanese are very traditional. With all possibility they may speak English well a little anyway.

Let your gf do the talking. You’ll stuff it up and probably offend them.

Do some research on manners and traditions. Bring them both a gift and be polite and respectful at all times. Hopefully, their views soften when they meet you in person. Good Luck.
