I'll come back to Japan in Japanese
また日本に来ます
In kana only: またにほんにきます
mata nihon ni kimasu
What it literally says
again I will come to Japan
Japanese politeness is mostly built out of phrases that stopped being literal a long time ago. Knowing what is underneath is the difference between repeating a sound and knowing what you said.
When to use it
Say it and mean it. It is the reply everyone hopes for.
