Yes, saying simply "Domo" (どうも) is widely accepted and commonly used in Japan as a casual, shorthand way of expressing gratitude. It functions similarly to saying "thanks" in English. However, because it is casual and informal, it is best reserved for interactions with close friends, peers, or familiar acquaintances, whereas formal settings require longer and more respectful expressions like arigato gozaimasu.
