Reservation
予約 · yoyaku
Also known as: yoyaku
Securing a table or time in advance; hostess clubs and girls bars often take walk-ins, but booking is the sure way for nominations, dohan and weekends.
A reservation is holding a table or time before you arrive. Hostess clubs, girls bars and snack bars can often be entered as a walk-in on the day, but weekends and busy periods are crowded, and if you want a particular cast member, a dohan or a table for a group, you may not get what you want without booking. Many high-end lounges expect a reservation.
Book through the contact details the venue has published, such as phone, LINE or WhatsApp, giving the number of people, the time and whether you have a nomination. The contact details are on the venue's listing. This site does not take bookings, so contact the venue directly. If you cannot make it, let the venue know early.
