I have began working at a museum in which we receive many Japanese tourists. I
have minimal experience in the Japanese language and am looking for a phrase I
can use to welcome guests after they have purchased tickets. If a different
phrase is needed to welcome a singular guest versus a group of guests, I would
like to know both.

Additionally, if there are any phrases that pop into mind for working with
Japanese tourists, those would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

question
phrase-requests
Welcoming museum guests
if you simply want to say "Welcome to X Museum" the simplest phrase is

"X Museum e yookoso."

If you want to say something more flowery, you could follow up by saying
"Please take your time and enjoy yourselves." which is

"Go yukkuri tanoshinde kudasai."

keep in mind that the "double o" simply means to hold that long o sound for
twice as long, it does NOT mean to make an "u" sound. Similarly, the "double
k" is the notation meaning "put a slight pause before uttering the "ku" sound.
If you are uncertain of the proper sound, you ought to be able to find online
resources to help you say these words correctly.

I'm thinking something like

> <Museum name> へご[来館]{らい・かん}いただき(まして)まことにありがとうございます。

Which means "Thank you for coming to the museum".

although I'm not sure if that would be overly polite.
