help translating "welcome to japan"

Hello, so I am doing a coursework about japan

Thanks

1. 東京 is Tokyo, not Japan, which is 日本. How did you mess that one up?
2. 日本へよおこそ "Nihon e yookoso" Welcome to Japan

よおこそ日本へ sounds a bit like "Welcome! (To Japan, that is)"

Correct. 東京へよおこそ
There are many ways to romanize it. Romanization of Japanese - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
