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.

What time zone is the release time?
