When Should I Make a Reservation? | 和食は京都府、京都市のますます増田 | ブログ

If your travel dates are already decided, we recommend making your reservation about one month in advance.

Kyoto is one of Japan’s most popular travel destinations, welcoming visitors from around the world throughout the year.

During busy seasons such as cherry blossom season, autumn foliage, the Gion Festival, and year-end holidays, many kaiseki restaurants become fully booked well in advance.

Booking early gives you the best chance of securing your preferred date and time.

At Masumasu Masuda, every omakase course is prepared using carefully selected seasonal ingredients.

We purchase ingredients and begin preparations based on each reservation, so we kindly recommend making your reservation at least three days before your visit whenever possible.

Occasionally, last-minute reservations may be available depending on seat availability.

Please check our reservation page for the latest availability.

Our restaurant is available for private bookings for groups of six or more guests.

Private dining is perfect for family celebrations, anniversaries, business dinners, or special gatherings with friends.

If you are planning a private event, we highly recommend contacting us as early as possible to reserve your preferred date.

When planning your visit to Kyoto, don’t forget to include your dining experience in your itinerary.

A memorable kaiseki dinner is often one of the highlights of a trip to Japan, and reserving early helps ensure a relaxed and enjoyable experience.

Located in a traditional machiya townhouse in Kyoto’s historic Nishijin district, Masumasu Masuda offers a monthly changing omakase course featuring the finest seasonal ingredients from Kyoto and across Japan, together with specialties from Tochigi Prefecture.

We also provide English explanations and a detailed English menu book, allowing international guests to enjoy not only the flavors of each dish but also the culture and stories behind them.

We look forward to welcoming you on your visit to Kyoto.
