Colowide Dining Strengthens Inbound Tour Support

Colowide Dining, a leading restaurant group, is set to launch a dedicated page for travel agencies on its official website on January 14, 2026. This initiative aims to bolster the reception of inbound tours and domestic group events across all 45 prefectures in Japan. Moving forward, the company will also expand its experiential content, specifically the "Sushi Making Experience," into the Kansai region.

With a notable rise in international visitors to Japan, the demand for diverse dining and experiential services among tour groups has increased. Colowide Dining recognizes this trend and is poised to offer flexible group plans based on area, number of guests, and budget requirements.

What the Travel Agent Page Offers

The newly established travel agent page (https://www.cw-dining.co.jp/tour/) provides crucial information tailored for tour operators. The offerings include:

• - Group-specific menus tailored for different dining experiences
• - Information on the service area and available restaurant brands
• - A dedicated inquiry form for direct communication with a representative who will assist with group arrangements.

Colowide Dining’s extensive network incorporates over 15 different restaurant brands. This includes not only their own establishments but also partners like Reins International, which operates popular chains such as "Gyukaku" and "Shabu-Shabu Onyasai." Groups can choose from a variety of cuisines, including seafood, sushi, and grilled meat, ensuring an experience that caters to their unique needs.

In addition, the company has successfully hosted more than 800,000 tour groups, showcasing its capability to handle practical arrangements effectively. Some of the specific features include:

• - Custom menu design based on budget
• - Consideration for dietary restrictions, such as vegetarian options
• - Consultation on commission fees for travel agencies

Travel agencies can easily reach out for personalized support to meet their specific requirements.

The Sushi Making Experience

As part of its experiential offerings, select Colowide Dining locations will provide the "Sushi Making Experience." This hands-on program allows participants to learn from skilled chefs, covering essential skills such as:

• - Proper handling of sushi rice and ingredients
• - Fundamental techniques for sushi making

Participants will prepare sushi under professional guidance and have the opportunity to taste their creations on-site. Upon completion, each participant will receive a certificate, serving as a memorable keepsake from their journey. This program, which combines the concepts of "making," "learning," and "tasting," is a great addition to tours that seek to integrate both meals and activities, making it highly recommended for travel agencies.

Previously offered only in Hokkaido and Tokyo, the Sushi Making Experience will now extend its availability to the Kansai region starting January 14, 2026.
