MyRealTrip & Ikyu Team Up for Seamless Japan Restaurant Bookings

Philip Lee -

MyRealTrip partners with Ikyu for restaurant reservations in Japan.

Why It Matters: South Korean travel-tech startup, MyRealTrip, has partnered with Japanese platform Ikyu to simplify restaurant reservations in Japan for Korean tourists.

The partnership underscores a broader trend in tourism focused on improving the dining experience.

The Key Points

  • New service: The "Japan Restaurant Reservation Service" will be launched as the first service of its kind from MyRealTrip.
  • Variety of options: The service provides access to about 160 restaurants, including well-known ones such as Sushishin Tokyo and Sushi Miyakawa.
  • Direct Booking: Through the MyRealTrip app and website, users can enter their reservation details and confirm bookings without contacting the restaurants.
  • Existing Service: MyRealTrip has facilitated local restaurant bookings in Japan for the past four months. The partnership with Ikyu streamlines this process.

The Big Picture: The collaboration between MyRealTrip and Ikyu illustrates the evolving dynamics in the travel industry, especially in a post-pandemic world where local culinary experiences are gaining traction.
