◆ Reservation Assistance (Free / Paid (depending on detail level))
Many restaurants, cafés, and small shops in Yanesen do not accept online bookings and often handle reservations only by phone or in person. Some also operate Japanese-only and may not be able to communicate with overseas visitors.
To help you avoid these challenges, we can contact the venue on your behalf, coordinate availability, and communicate any dietary restrictions, preferences, or special requests clearly in Japanese. All reservations are made under your name, and no payment is handled on your behalf.
If needed, we can also provide on-site support during your meal, shopping experience or workshop — helping with communication, menu explanations, or practical assistance. (Paid (depending on detail level))
Whether you already have a place in mind or are simply exploring options, feel free to ask. We’re here to make your experience smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free.
Note: Our reservation assistance does not involve the sale of travel packages or accommodation. All bookings are made in your name and at actual cost.
