we love traditions Japanese food but we are also into the international cuisine here in Japan. In terms of dietary requirements, one of us has an auto-immune disease, which has made us very aware of any dietary requirements and restrictions, which is why we have a long lists of cafes and restaurant that can cater to people with many restrictions. We specialize in cafes and restaurants around Tokyo and Kanagawa, but we have traveled a lot and after 6 years living here we can provide all sorts of advice and help regarding booking and travel organization.

Do you have any dietary restrictions/requirements?

As a virtual assistant, I have supported the schedules of approximately 100 guests. Japan boasts numerous delightful restaurants and fascinating experiences. 

However, some places require reservations in Japanese or have contact numbers only in Japanese, making it challenging for non-Japanese speakers. :)
