Introducing the Dine with Visa in Japan 2026 Campaign

The platform connecting restaurants and guests worldwide, TableCheck, headquartered in Chuo, Tokyo, is collaborating with the international brand Visa to launch the restaurant campaign titled Dine with Visa in Japan 2026. This initiative is designed specifically for international visitors dining in Japan.

Record Participation from Last Year

In 2025, the previous campaign saw over 10,000 international guests from regions such as Southeast Asia and North America participate, solidifying the trend of online reservations becoming the norm for visitors to Japan. Notably, the cancellation rate for reservations made through this campaign was approximately half of the average cancellation rate among all international guests, creating a more reliable dining experience for both guests and restaurants involved.

Recognizing the growing emphasis on food experiences during travel to Japan, TableCheck and Visa are excited to present this campaign again in 2026. Participants will enjoy a 10% discount on select menu items at over 30 highly curated restaurants located in major cities such as Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto. Holders of Visa cards issued outside Japan can secure a unique opportunity to delve into Japan's rich culinary culture with confidence.

Enhancing the Reservation Experience

Traveling to Japan often brings challenges related to language differences, cultural customs, and payment methods that might raise concerns when choosing restaurants. The Dine with Visa campaign aims to mitigate these issues by combining the reliability of Visa's global payment system with TableCheck's multilingual online reservation system. This ensures a straightforward and convenient experience for online bookings, restaurant visits, and payments — all tailored for the wanderlust of international travelers. The campaign’s dedicated webpage and menu information are offered in 23 languages, including English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Korean.

A Diverse Selection of Dining Options

Participating restaurants encompass a broad array of traditional Japanese cuisine, featuring sushi, yakiniku (grilled meat), kaiseki (multi-course meal), and more modern interpretations of Japanese dining. The selection highlights renowned establishments that travelers dream of visiting, enriching the gastronomic joy that accompanies the journey to Japan.

Visa's Commitment to Visitors

Akihiro Satomura, Head of Marketing for Visa Japan, covering Japan, South Korea, and Mongolia states, “Through this campaign, we aspire to create an environment where travelers from around the globe can confidently enjoy Japan's incredible food culture. By combining a trustworthy and seamless payment experience with a mechanism that highlights attractive dining options, Visa is dedicated to ensuring every facet of travelers' adventures in Japan feels welcoming and supportive.”
