How to say "everywhere" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- 方々ほうぼうadverb, nounCovers 'here and there' and 'all over' in the sense of many separate places rather than exhaustive coverage — visiting or dealing with various places, or things scattered across them.
- expression, noun, adverbThe straightforward word for true 'everywhere': something found all over or throughout a whole area, with no place left out — the default choice when you simply mean every part of a space.
- 随所ずいしょnounSuits a quality that shows up at every turn — charm, care, or flaws appearing all over the place as you go along — more than a plain statement of spatial coverage.
- adverbStresses exhaustive coverage — 'in every nook and cranny' — so it fits searching or surveying a place thoroughly, leaving no corner unchecked, more than casually noting that things are everywhere.
- pronoun, adverb, suru verbCovers 'here and there' and 'all around': things scattered in various places, or someone moving from place to place. It suggests scattered spots rather than complete coverage of an area.
Choose 「いたるところ」 for plain 'everywhere; all over; throughout' coverage, 「くまなく」 for exhaustive nook-and-cranny coverage, 方々 or 「あちこち」 for scattered here-and-there places, and 随所 for something encountered at every turn.
