<abstract>This paper describes our systems that were submitted to the restricted translation task at WAT 2021. In this task, the systems are required to output translated sentences that contain all given word constraints. Our system combined input augmentation and constrained beam search algorithms. Through experiments, we found that this combination significantly improves translation accuracy and can save inference time while containing all the constraints in the output. For both En-\textgreaterJa and Ja-\textgreaterEn, our systems obtained the best evaluation performances in automatic and human evaluation.</abstract>
