Tabelog Japan Restaurant Scraper
Scrape Tabelog restaurant data from any city or area in Japan, up to a million restaurants per run. Get ratings, reviews, genres, budgets, locations, hours, and photos in one flat row. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Check that the city slug is spelled correctly and that the area code, if provided, is valid for that city. Also ensure the maximum restaurants is set to at least 1.
The run stops before reaching my maximum restaurants.
Tabelog may not have that many restaurants in the selected city or area. Try a broader area or a larger city.
Some fields are empty in the output.
Not all restaurants have every field, such as photos or hours. Empty fields mean the data was not available on Tabelog.
The run takes a long time.
Scraping many restaurants takes time. Reduce the maximum restaurants or use a more specific area code to speed up the run.
