How to say "advisory" in Japanese

Choosing the right word
  • 注意報ちゅういほうCommon
    nounThe common word for an official advisory, especially a weather advisory issued by authorities to alert the public to hazards such as storms or flooding; this is the word you want for that sense.
  • no-adjectiveThe loanword, found mainly in business and financial contexts such as advisory services or advisory roles; being less common, it is not the word for a weather or public-safety advisory.
  • 注意書ちゅういしょ
    nounA written caution or notice — text printed or posted to warn readers — so it matches 'advisory' only in that written-notice sense; for advisories in the announcement sense it is seldom the word you want.
    壁かべの注意ちゅうい書しょを見みなさい。↗
    Look at the notice on the wall.

Use 注意報 for an official advisory alerting the public to danger, 「アドバイザリー」 as the loanword for business or financial advisory roles and services, and 注意書 only for a written caution or notice.
