Before you book
- • Book ahead for small rooms and peak weeks — many popular spots fill early
- • Most places close between lunch and dinner (typically 14:00–17:00)
- • Cash is still common at family-run Japanese spots; cards more accepted at hotel and international restaurants
- • No tipping in Japan — the price is the price
2 places. Hours are a guide — some still need a call.
