The phone-only table guide

Food trip

One great table a day, away from the queues.

Kyoto's Nishiki and Tokyo's famous ramen lines are full of tourists. The places locals rate highest on Tabelog are often small counters that only take bookings by phone, in Japanese. We plan your days around them, and a person on our team calls to book them for you.

  1. 一Tell us in your own wordsWho's coming, when, where you're going and what you love. Anywhere in Japan.
  2. 二Free planA highlight restaurant for each day, grouped by neighbourhood, with two backups. Outside our cities, a person plans it and emails you.
  3. 三Share itYour plan has its own link. Send it to whoever you're travelling with.
  4. 四Book the whole planFrom ¥17,000. A person on our team calls every restaurant (results within a few days) and moves to a backup when one is full. Only charged once a table is confirmed.

Restaurants only: we don't book hotels or transport. Travelling as a group of 7 or more, or planning for clients? Ask our group concierge.
