TOKYO -- Tabelog (https://tabelog.com/en/), Japan's largest restaurant search and reservation service operated by Kakaku.com, Inc., launched its multilingual smartphone application (iOS/Android) for international travelers on Monday, November 17, 2025.

With approximately 100 million monthly users, Tabelog is Japan's premier service widely used by Japanese locals for daily restaurant discovery. Its database is unrivaled domestically, featuring information on approximately 890,000 establishments nationwide and over 85 million reviews and photos. Unlike global map services or travel sites, Tabelog is built on “authentic ratings and reviews from local Japanese users,” enabling travelers to discover truly exceptional restaurants beloved by locals — not just tourist-oriented establishments.

While multilingual services were previously available through web browsers, the official app has been released to provide an enhanced search and reservation experience for the growing number of international visitors, from trip planning to their actual stay in Japan. In the same month, it achieved No. 1 in downloads in the “Japanese Gourmet Search Apps Chosen by International Travelers” ranking.
