観光地・まちぐるみで
訪日外国人を迎え入れる

Living in Japan for the past 6 years I have come to love Japan. In particular the vast array of local and international restaurants and cuisine. Over time I have become confident when choosing to dine at restaurants where English menus or English language may not be available. However, with so many friends from around the world visiting me here in Japan, I am frequently reminded of how difficult it is for foreigners to dine out. Even friends who have lived here for sometime find it difficult when they have no understanding of the Japanese language. Taberkoto is the perfect tool for any foreigner with limited or no knowledge of the Japanese language to enjoy the amazing cuisine Japan has to offer with confidence and in a convenient and easy fashion. All the necessary information is available, detailed description of the specialty menu is great. Also knowing the restaurant has English menus and possibly English speaking staff will make the experience much more easier and far more enjoyable.

After living in Japan for 4 years I still find it hard to find places to eat! Taberkoto looks perfect! It's very detailed so that you have everything you need to know beforehand. It has all the information I think a person that doesn't speak Japanese would need. One thing I like is the details of the restaurants most popular dishes. Sometimes that's s all a person needs to get their attention and make you want to eat there and the tips on how to actually eat your food can be valuable information for people not familiar with Japan etiquette. The site is easy to navigate which makes it fast and easy to use. I'd like this to become a website where you can view information on restaurants everywhere, and for it to be used by all visitors to Japan by the time of the 2019 World Cup and 2020 Tokyo Olympics. I'll definitely recommend Taberukoto to all my friends who visit Japan.I'll definitely be recommending Taberukoto to all my friends who plan to visit Japan.

I’ve lived in Japan for 4 years now. Two things that I really enjoy are traveling and food, and Japan is a fantastic place for both. The hospitality I have been shown here is unmatched, and the sheer variety of tastes and textures available in the food here is really impressive. I’m happy to have Taberukoto because eating out in Japan has its challenges for foreigners - even in Tokyo where there are many English speakers. For my first year or so in Japan, I could only go to restaurants that had plastic displays outside, or pictures on the menu, because English menus are rare. Anything else was off-limits unless I could bring a Japanese friend to translate the menu for me. I love to try new things, and I adore finding the little hole-in-the-wall shops that cater to locals, not tourists, but the lack of English can be intimidating. Taberukoto lets me explore so that I can find exactly what I'm looking for, and also helps me see the best options on the menu beforehand. Having a Welcome Message from the restaurant that ensures friendly services for foreigners will make the experience less daunting and stress free. So when I actually arrive at the restaurant, having all that knowledge prior allows me not to feel like a burden on the staff. Taberkoto is essential for all foreigners wanting to experience great food Japan.

I have had the pleasure of visiting Japan many times for work purposes, filming and interviewing foreigners, mainly New Zealanders, to get their view and experience of life living in Japan. One common theme seems to be their love of Japanese food and the difficulties they face when searching for or dining at Japanese restaurants. As a visitor to Japan I found it very difficult to know where to look for information on restaurants. Taberokoto looks like the perfect site to cater for people like me. Every possible detail is covered in an attractive and simple setting. I especially like the information on Local Food. For someone like me who travels throughout the whole country it is wonderful to know what I should be trying when I'm in a certain prefecture. It makes deciding what to eat so much easier and can definitely open my eyes to a whole new world taste and culture.

I'm from Korea. I'm a student now in America. When I went to Japan, I went there as a tourist so I barely knew any Japanese. Thus, I had a tough time when searching for a place to eat, but also ordering was difficult. If I had a website like Taberukoto when I was in Japan, I'm sure my experience would have been much better. I am impressed by its details about each restaurant and additional information that you want to know before you get there. What is really helpful is pictures of the menu but also showing the menu in different languages is great. This would make ordering your food at a restaurant so much easier if I already know what's on the menu. The site would definitely be perfect for those who want to enjoy Japans restaurants without too much hassle. I wish it was around when I was in Japan. I will definitely use Taberkoto on my next trip.
