The Pokemon Cafe Bot for Osaka and Tokyo, booked for you in English.
One flat fee. We book the table, you show up. If we cannot get it, you get an automatic full refund. No need to ask.
The Pokemon Cafe is one of the hardest tables in Japan to book, gone within seconds of release. Both cafes are open, and our bot watches every release so you don't have to.
Same flat fee whether you're solo or a table of 6. No per-person charges. No surprises.
Bigger group? We book 7 to 12 as two linked tables, seated together.

Guests
Children and babies count as guests too. The cafe asks every guest aged 6 and over to order at least one item.
You'll give this name at the entrance, so use your real name

Nothing starts until you review and pay.
Group of 7: two linked reservations
The cafe books up to 6 guests per reservation, so for a bigger group we secure two tables in the same sitting and seat you together. One payment covers both, and everything comes to you. We just need a name for the second table (the cafe books each table under a separate name). We'll book 4 + 3 guests.

Built for the 6pm JST race
Our bot fires inside the first second the cafe opens slots. The big monthly bulk releases, when a whole month of dates drops at once, are exactly what it is built for.
Independent service, not affiliated with The Pokemon Company, Nintendo, or Pokemon Cafe.
✨
Built by travellers, for travellers
We created CafeSnap after spending hours trying to book the Pokemon Cafe ourselves. Refreshing the page, watching it sell out, losing slots in seconds. We built the Pokemon Cafe booking bot we wished existed, so now our system does the hard part and you can focus on enjoying Japan.
Questions
No. CafeSnap is an independent reservation service. We are not affiliated with The Pokemon Company, Nintendo, or Pokemon Cafe. The cafe's own booking site is free. You're paying us to do the booking on your behalf because slots sell out in seconds.
Full automatic refund. We issue it the day after the last of your preferred dates passes without us booking it. You don't have to ask or chase us. It hits your bank in 5 to 10 business days depending on your card.
Yes. We book on your behalf using the name you give us, the same way a hotel concierge or travel agent would. The reservation is in your name. We send you a confirmation with everything you need to walk in and be seated.
If the cafe cancels for its own reasons (closure, renovation, an issue on their side), that sits with their own refund policy. Our fee covers securing the reservation, not the cafe's own decisions afterwards. Cases like this are very rare and we'll always help you contact the cafe.
No. One flat fee covers a table of 1 to 6 at both cafes, and a family of 4 pays the same as a solo visitor, with no per-person upcharge or service fee at checkout. Groups of 7 to 12 are booked as two linked tables in the same sitting for one group fee (£20 standard or £40 priority), not per person.
Yes, until 10pm JST the night before your reservation date, which is the cafe's own cancellation deadline. Cancel from the "Check booking" page any time. A small processing fee applies (10%, minimum £1.50) to cover Stripe's costs. If we've already secured your reservation at the cafe, we cancel it there on your behalf too.
You can see exactly who we are, contact us on Telegram, and read our refund terms before paying. If we don't get your booking, you get a full refund automatically. No hidden per-person charges or surprise fees at checkout. Cheaper services tend to be anonymous listings with no refund guarantee. We'd rather charge a fair flat fee and stand behind it.
Two ways. First, CafeSnap follows the cafe's verified official release and submits when matching dates open. Second, continuous scanners watch for cancellations around the clock and try as soon as a matching seat appears.
So we can send you your booking confirmation, including the date, time, and guest name to show at the door. We handle everything with the cafe on our side. You just turn up.
Yes. Payment goes through Stripe Checkout, the same system used by millions of online businesses. We never see, store, or touch your card details. Stripe is fully PCI compliant. You can also pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Link if your browser supports them.
Yes. You can pick up to 3 preferred dates. We try all of them and book whichever opens up first. More dates means better chances. One flat fee covers the lot.
The cafe has 3 seating areas. A and B are table seats for 2-6 guests. C is counter and table seats for 1-6 guests. Different zones have different available times. If you don't mind, leave it on "any" for the best odds.
Yes. CafeSnap is a Pokemon Cafe booking bot and reservation service. When the cafe releases seats at 6pm JST and they sell out in seconds, our bot submits faster than a person can click, and a continuous scanner keeps watching for cancellations after that. You give us your dates once and we do the booking on your behalf for one flat fee.
That is exactly what we do. The Pokemon Cafe in Osaka and Tokyo is often sold out within seconds of release, so most people who can't get a reservation either gave up or missed the 6pm JST window. We book it for you: our system tries your preferred dates at release and keeps chasing cancellation seats right up to your date. If we can't get any of your dates, you get a full automatic refund.
