How to say "destination" in Japanese

• 行き先いきさきCommon
  nounThe everyday word for the place someone or something is heading to. Use it when asking or stating where a train, bus, package, or person is going.
  彼かれは行き先いきさきの違ちがう列車れっしゃに乗のるほど不注意ふちゅういではない。↗

  He is not so careless as to take the wrong train.
• 旅先たびさきCommon
  nounCovers a destination specifically in the context of travel — the place one visits or stays during a trip. It carries the nuance of being away on a journey rather than simply pointing to a target.
  旅先たびさきでは迷子まいごになりやすい。↗

  When traveling, it is easy to get lost.
• 途方とほうCommon
  nounOnly marginally 'destination'; its main senses are 'way' or 'means', as in 途方に暮れる 'to be at a loss'. Seldom the word you want for 'destination'.
• 宛先あてさきCommon
  nounThe destination of mail, email, or a shipment — that is, the recipient's address. Use this when the 'destination' is where a message or parcel is sent, not where a person is travelling.
  この宛先あてさきに送おくってもらえますか？↗

  Could you send it to this address?
• 行く先ゆくさきCommon
  nounLike 行き先, it means the place one is heading for, often a person's destination or future course in life. A natural choice when discussing where someone is going.

Use 「行き先」 or 「行く先」 for where someone or something is going, 宛先 for a mailing address, and 旅先 for a travel destination; avoid 途方, which mainly means 'way' or 'means'.
