Some local restaurants in Osaka still rely heavily on phone reservations, which can be difficult for international travelers.

For example, Teppanyaki Kirameki, in Osaka’s Sōemoncho area near Namba, provides phone reservation information on its official website.

If you’re staying at a hotel, the front desk may be able to help. But if you're staying at an Airbnb, arranging a reservation can be more difficult.
