How to book
Booking this restaurant requires advance planning. Typical lead time is one to three months — for the rarest seats, six months. Many restaurants of this difficulty release the next month's bookings on the first of the prior month; being in the queue the moment that window opens dramatically increases your chance of catching a difficult seat.
You can book in English via Hitosara. Flexibility on the date — especially weekday lunch — opens up substantially more options than a fixed Saturday-dinner request.
Frequently Asked
How do I book RiVi?
Booking difficulty: Hard. English-language booking is available via Hitosara. Lunch is typically easier than dinner to book.
What is the price range at RiVi?
Dinner runs ¥20,000–29,999. Lunch runs ¥15,000–19,999, typically 40–60% of the dinner price. Prices are based on publicly disclosed bands; the actual bill depends on the seasonal menu, drinks, and any added courses.
Is RiVi suitable for international visitors?
Foreign-visitor accessibility is limited. Booking and dining in Japanese is the expectation; if you do not speak Japanese, route the booking through your hotel concierge so they can flag dietary needs and confirm payment.
When is the best time to visit RiVi?
Weekday lunch is typically the easiest reservation and the most cost-effective way to experience the kitchen. Avoid Japanese national holidays for the highest seat availability, and book at least two to three months in advance.
