Terms of Use

Short version: read it, use it, do not copy it wholesale, and check opening hours yourself before you travel.

Last updated: 2026-08-14

What you may do

Read the guide, print it, save pages offline, and quote short passages with a link back. Using the site to plan a trip — including a commercial one, such as a tour you are leading — is fine.

What you may not do

Republishing the written descriptions, guides or curated lists in bulk, whether by hand or by automated scraping, is not permitted. The selection of restaurants and the text about them are original work. Photographs on the site are not the operator’s to license and cannot be redistributed from here at all.

Photographs and data

Restaurant photographs remain the property of the restaurants and of Recruit Co., Ltd., and are displayed live from HOT PEPPER Gourmet under its terms of service. Addresses and coordinates come from Foursquare OS Places under the Apache 2.0 licence, and maps from OpenStreetMap under the ODbL. Each source is credited on the About page.

Restaurants listed here

No restaurant pays to appear on this site and no restaurant can pay to be removed from it, other than by writing to confirm they have closed or asked not to be listed. Requests from a restaurant to correct or remove its own entry are honoured.

External links

Links to Google Maps, HOT PEPPER Gourmet, Tabelog, YouTube, booking services and shops lead to sites this operator does not control and is not responsible for.

Availability

The site is offered as-is, with no guarantee that it will be online or up to date at any given moment.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of Japan.
