Booking is better but...

The second difficulty is to reserve your seats. If you want to visit Iroriya, we recommend strongly to book your table. Because of Solitary gourmet this restaurant is very popular. 

Sometimes the beef rice bowl is not available any more at lunch time. But reservation is very hard for the international tourists, because the restaurant has no email address, there is only a phone number on its website. You can wait in the line. But 30 minutes before the opening hour many people are already waiting. 

Maybe you can try to book your table in Japanese on the phone. Or you can try it in English,  the staff of this restaurant maybe understands English very well…
