In a sentence

いつwhenにほん日本Japanいく行くgo

When are you going to Japan?

How it works

The question word いつ (when) leads off the sentence, setting up “when?” before anything else. (to) marks 日本にほん (Japan) as the destination you’re heading toward. The verb 行くいく (go) stays in plain casual form — no polite ます (polite) — and with the rising (?) it becomes a relaxed “when are you going to Japan?” among friends.
