How would you say "A is close to B" ? As in, "A and B are nearby each other".

Would you use 近く here? If so, how?

How do say "close to" re: location?
AはBに近いです。

Lit. "To B, A is close" but more likely to be translated "A is close to B".

You can use either 「[近]{ちか}い」 or 「近く」, but each requires a different sentence
structure. That is because while the former is an adjective and the latter, a
noun.

> 「A + **は** + B + **に** + 近 **い** です。」
>
> 「A + **は** + B + **から** + 近 **い** です。」
>
> 「A + **は** + B + **の** + 近 **く** + **に** + あります。」

The particle choices are very important in these short phrases.
