“Advice” in Japanese is 助言 (jogen).

It places helpful guidance beside a decision, leaving the final choice to the person who receives it.

将来の進路について、両親に助言を求めました。shō rai no shin ro ni tsu i te ryō shin ni jo gen o moto me ma shi ta

I asked my parents for advice about my future career path.

In professional conversation, this noun can signal carefully considered guidance rather than an offhand suggestion.
