The house announces the reception day itself — there is no fixed date to compute.

This house books only in the name of the guest who attends. We will ask in your name; if the house declines bookings arranged on a guest's behalf, we will tell you and nothing is charged.

If a seat comes back

We found no official vacancy alert for this booking channel. Booking on the release day is the realistic route.

We still send you release-date alerts: for a set release date, the day before, on the morning of release day (08:00 JST) and about 30 minutes before when the time is known; for houses that open a little every day, a weekly summary.
