Please note

Voucher Information : Show your voucher on your smartphone or other device (if you'd rather print a copy - that's fine too!)

If you have dietary issues or allergies (e.g., nuts, shellfish, gluten), mention them in the Special Requests section when booking. You can also call or email us. Please book and specify your needs well in advance, as last-minute changes may not be possible

For Vegetarians: Some of the dishes contain dashi, a soup stock made from kelp and bonito, which is essential in Japanese cuisine. If you cannot consume dashi, we may not be able to fully accommodate your dietary needs. Please also inform us if you can eat eggs and dairy product. If dashi is not suitable for you, we recommend booking a private tour where we can offer some alternatives. However, completely avoiding fish stock may still be challenging

We recommend wearing comfortable shoes for walking. On rainy days, please bring an umbrella.
