How to book & queue information
The weekday ground-floor buffet does not take reservations; on-site registration is listed from 10:30. Do not confuse it with rooftop buffet or kaiseki bookings.
For reservable meals, follow the official page’s link for your chosen format. Web booking closes at 15:00 the previous day; same-day enquiries are by phone.
Check minimum orders, private-room charges and cancellation terms for your date and menu. Strollers may need to be stored separately depending on seating; ask ahead.
Choose a walk-in buffet or a booked meal first, then plan Senso-ji and a riverside walk around it.
Before you go
The weekday ground-floor and rooftop buffets do not share the same entry system. Ask about child seating and stroller storage after choosing your dining format.
