💡 Tips for Visitors

Most restaurants accept cash only, so bring yen. Lunch sets offer better value than dinner and are popular with locals, so arrive before 12pm or after 1:30pm to avoid peak crowds. Picture menus are common, and staff may have limited English, but pointing to photos works well—look for 'gyutan teishoku' (beef tongue set meal).
