## What is DineMate for Japan visitors?

Easily book Japanese restaurants without speaking Japanese.

Many restaurants in Japan still only accept reservations by phone, and often only in Japanese. This can be a major challenge for international travelers. Our app solves this problem by making reservations on your behalf—through a simple chat.

How it works:

Paste the restaurant's website or listing page URL (Tabelog, Google Maps, etc.)
Tell us your preferred date, time, number of people, and any special requests
Our Japanese-speaking operator will call the restaurant and make the reservation
We notify you through chat once the reservation is confirmed
You never need to call or speak Japanese. Everything is done via chat.

Service fee:

The reservation fee is 550 yen per booking.
The fee is only charged when the reservation is successfully completed.
Why travelers love this app:

No need to navigate Japanese reservation websites or make phone calls
Access restaurants that don't support online booking or English communication
Ideal for solo travelers, couples, and families visiting Japan
Perfect for:

Travelers who want to eat at popular or local restaurants
People who prefer a simple, chat-based experience
Anyone who doesn't speak Japanese but still wants to explore Japan’s food culture
Special requests? No problem. You can enter any dietary restrictions, seating preferences, or notes for the restaurant in the chat. We'll communicate everything clearly when we make the call.

Start your reservation with just a URL. We'll take care of the rest.

Travel in Japan with ease—enjoy great food, without the language barrier.
