Gurunavi Scraper: Japan restaurants with budgets, address, phone, hours, courses and availability

Scrape Gurunavi (ぐるなび), one of Japan's biggest restaurant guides, without an account: restaurant name and kana reading, cuisine, lunch and dinner budget in yen, access from the nearest station, full address with postal code, latitude and longitude, store phone and reservation phone, opening hours, closed days, seats, smoking, parking, credit cards, website, opening date, set courses with prices, reservation availability for the coming days, selling points, scenes and photos.

Search by keyword (in English or Japanese), prefecture, cuisine, budget and features such as private room or all you can drink, or paste any Gurunavi restaurant or list link. Built for travel apps and guides, food and beverage market research in Japan, restaurant sales and supplier lead lists, location intelligence and datasets for recommendation engines and LLMs.

At a glance

What	Price (Free plan)
Restaurant delivered	US$ 4.00 per 1,000 restaurants (US$ 0.004 each)
Run start	US$ 0.005 per run

• 100 restaurants with the full restaurant page = US$ 0.305. Same price with or without the restaurant page.
• Error rows, duplicates and restaurants already delivered in earlier runs (onlyNew) are never charged.
• maxItems is a hard cap, and a spending limit set on the run stops it cleanly with everything delivered so far.
• No cap per search: a search with 5,000+ restaurants can be read to the end.
• The proxy that Gurunavi needs is included in the price. Keep the default proxy settings.

Input

Field	What it does
searchKeyword	Dish, cuisine or restaurant name. Common food words in English (ramen, sushi, yakiniku, tempura, wagyu, izakaya, udon, okonomiyaki, kaiseki, shabu shabu and about 80 more) are searched in Japanese for you. Japanese works as typed. Several keywords: separate with commas.
area	One of the 47 prefectures in English (tokyo, osaka, kyoto, hokkaido, fukuoka...), big cities (yokohama, kobe, sapporo, nagoya), japan for the whole country, or a Gurunavi area code like aream2115.
cuisine	Gurunavi cuisine category: izakaya, japanese, sushi, ramen, noodle, yakiniku, hotpot, western (Italian and French), continental, chinese, ethnic, curry, buffet, bar, cafe, entertainment, casual, others.
characteristic	One feature every restaurant must have: private-room, all-you-can-eat, all-you-can-drink, takeout, solo-friendly, kids-welcome, pets-allowed, date, anniversary, birthday-perk, girls-night, night-view, parking, open-24-hours, smoking-allowed.
minBudget, maxBudget	Average spend per person in yen.
onlineReservation, withCoupon, newlyOpened	Only restaurants bookable on Gurunavi, with a Gurunavi coupon, or marked as newly opened.
startUrls	Restaurant pages (r.gnavi.co.jp/<code>/ or the English gurunavi.com/en/... page) and list pages (area, station, cuisine, search results).
includeDetails	On by default: opens each restaurant page for address, phone, coordinates, hours and the rest. Off: list fields only, about 3 times faster.
maxItems	Restaurants in the whole run (default 20, 0 = no limit).
onlyNew	For schedules: skip restaurants this search already delivered in your earlier runs.
proxyConfiguration	Keep the default: it is the setting that works with Gurunavi.

With every search field and link empty, the run searches ramen in Tokyo as an example.

Restaurants with online booking also carry courses (for example a crab course at 20,300 yen with 32 dishes) and availability for the next days ({"date": "2026-10-24", "status": "available"}).

Errors you may see

Error rows have type: "error", an errorCode and a plain message. They are never charged.

errorCode	Meaning
INVALID_INPUT	A field could not be used, for example an area that is not a Japanese prefecture.
INVALID_URL	A link that is not a Gurunavi restaurant or list page.
NOT_FOUND	The restaurant page or the area list does not exist (closed or removed).
NO_RESULTS	Gurunavi has no restaurant for this keyword and these filters.
BLOCKED	Gurunavi did not answer this search. Keep the default proxy settings and run again.
UNEXPECTED	Anything else; the run ends with what it already delivered.

Integrations, scheduling and AI agents

• Schedules: run the same search every day or week from Apify Schedules. Turn on onlyNew to receive only restaurants that are new to that search since your last run (good for new-opening alerts and lead lists).
• Export: download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML, or read it from the Apify API.
• Make, n8n, Zapier: use the Apify integration to send new restaurants to Google Sheets, a CRM, Slack or a database.
• AI agents: the Actor works through the Apify MCP server, so an assistant such as Claude or ChatGPT can search Gurunavi on request ("find izakaya with private rooms near Shinjuku under 4,000 yen").
• Webhooks: trigger your own endpoint when a run finishes.

FAQ

Do I need a Gurunavi account? No. The Actor reads the public pages.

Can I search in English? Yes. Common food words in English are turned into the Japanese words Gurunavi uses (ramen becomes ラーメン, yakitori becomes 焼き鳥). Restaurant data itself is in Japanese, as on the site.

How many restaurants can I get? As many as Gurunavi lists for the search: ramen in Tokyo returns 5,423. Set maxItems to 0 to get all of them, and raise the run timeout for several thousand with the restaurant page.

Why are some fields missing on a row? Restaurants with a basic listing fill in fewer fields (often only address, phone, access and smoking). Empty fields are left out instead of being sent as blanks.

Is the phone number personal data? No. It is the business phone of the restaurant, published by the restaurant. No reviewer or customer data is collected.

Can I only get the list without opening each restaurant? Yes, set includeDetails to false. The price is the same, the run is about 3 times faster, and you still get name, budget, access, photos, courses and availability.

Limitations

• Gurunavi answers only through the default proxy settings; other settings return free BLOCKED rows.
• Keyword search matches Gurunavi's own text. Words that are not in the built-in English list are searched as typed.
• Availability covers the days Gurunavi shows on the list (usually about two weeks).
• Reviews are not collected in this version; every other field of the restaurant page is.

Changelog

• 23 Oct 2026, 0.1: first version. Keyword (English or Japanese), prefecture, cuisine, feature, budget, reservation, coupon and new-opening filters; restaurant and list links; full restaurant page; onlyNew; free error rows.
