03 — When to use us

When can
we help?

In our experience, booking in Japan is often hard for visitors: it often has to be done in Japanese, and some restaurants only take reservations by phone. Read our guide.

Phone-only restaurants電話予約

“There's a place I really want to go — but I can't book it online.”

Send us the name. We call the restaurant in Japanese, including for same-day requests, and tell you honestly if we cannot get a table.

Finding a place店探し

“I don't know where to eat — can you find somewhere for me?”

Tell us the area, your budget and what you would like to eat. We find a restaurant and book it for you, for ¥2,500 (about US$16)Approximate, at US$1 = ¥158.35 (Bank of Japan, 5 p.m. JST, October 14, 2026). Our fees are charged in Japanese yen. per reservation.

Allergies · kids · occasions特別対応

“We have allergies / a young child / an anniversary — is that even possible?”

Tell us, and we pass it on to the restaurant in Japanese: allergies, vegetarian meals, a kids' chair, a quiet table for an anniversary. We also check counter seats and card payment.

Each restaurant decides what it can accommodate.
