Konnichiwa (こんにちは) is said between late morning (11am) and early evening (5pm) in Japan. It's a formal kind of 'hello!
Is it rude to say Konichiwa?
In English, you might say “hi” to people anytime of the day; however, in Japanese, the above greeting is something useful to know as an etiquette. It is not appropriate to say, Konnichiwa (こんにちは) to someone 8 pm, past dinner time.
