Find Japan's best spots from short videos, book for 100 yen, and check real-time waits by AI call. Ever planned a trip to Japan and run into this? • Scrolled through Shorts and Reels saving restaurants, then can't remember where each one was or whether it needs a reservation • Google Maps said it was open, but the door was shut when you got there • Showed up and got turned away because walk-ins aren't allowed, or the wait was longer than expected Rapym solves both problems at once. Find it, check it, get there — all in one app. Rapym Clips: every recommendation, one map Restaurants saved from short videos start to blur together as your trip gets closer. Rapym Clips pulls together restaurant videos for any destination you search, right alongside their location on the map. No more digging back through TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram. Save the ones you like and build your own shortlist. Check Now: is there a table right now Just tap a button. Rapym's AI calls the restaurant directly and checks in real time, usually within 90 seconds: - Is it open right now? - Is there a table available? - How long is the wait? Skip this check and you might not find out it was a wasted trip until you're standing outside. 100 Yen Booking: anywhere in Japan Doesn't matter if a restaurant only takes phone reservations or needs an online booking. Just give us the date and party size, and Rapym handles the rest for 100 yen. Coverage keeps expanding. Pricing can vary by booking method, and some restaurants requiring course selection or prepayment may not be supported yet.
