Tabelog’s online reservation service for overseas visitors
To offer a more convenient way to find and reserve restaurants for the growing number of visitors to Japan, we have launched an online restaurant reservation service where reservations can be made in English, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), and Korean.
*According to the Japan National Tourism Organization, the number of visitors to Japan is expected to exceed 3 million in May 2024 (up 60% from the previous year).
Features of Tabelog’s service are as follows:
- Search for restaurants in Japan by specifying a location, cuisine, budget, and the date and time you want to make a reservation.
- Select a restaurant based on detailed information about the restaurant, including menu, photos, and reviews posted by Japanese users.
-
Check reservation availability using the calendar function and make online reservations directly on Tabelog.
*Online reservations are currently only available for set menus and require credit card registration. In addition, there is a system usage fee of 440 yen (incl. tax) per person per reservation.
“Japan is currently the destination of choice for travelers from around the world, and many of them want to experience Japan’s food culture. However, there is still a shortage of restaurants equipped to communicate with and take reservations from overseas visitors leading to a situation where only a handful of well-known restaurants are attracting visitors to Japan,” said Taku Kounoike, Head of Tabelog. “As a Japanese gourmet media, we want to support travelers in experiencing the deeper charm of Japan, by showcasing a wide range of excellent restaurants across the country, and by providing a service that enables users to make online reservations. We sincerely hope that your travel experience in Japan will become more fulfilling than ever before.”
