Tabelog's App Supports International Visitors

— December 23, 2025 — Lifestyle
Across the world, there’s an abundance of memorable meals waiting to be discovered, and sometimes, language is the barrier that keeps travelers from having exceptional experiences, prompting Japan's largest restaurant search and reservation platform, Tabelog, to launch a multilingual smartphone app to help international travelers find food and book seats in their own language.

This app provides an enhanced search and reservation experience that helps hungry travelers avoid reliance on multilingual services via web browsers. Now, with the support of this app, a whole new world of culinary possibilities opens up for travelers to Japan, especially if they have previously felt limited by tourist-oriented restaurants.

The Tabelog app now lets users search and book real local restaurants in English, Chinese and Korean.
