Instant booking of Japanese restaurants and activities now
available through Korea’s leading travel app

---

Japan Ticket Holdings Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Hiroaki Tanaka) is pleased to announce the launch of an API partnership with the South Korean travel platform “Myrealtrip” through its group company, Japanticket Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “JapanTicket”).

Starting April 2026, Korean travelers will be able to book and instantly confirm reservations for Japanese restaurants and cultural experiences directly through the Myrealtrip app in real-time. This shift from the traditional “request-based booking” to “instant booking” allows inbound tourists to complete their reservations on the spot as soon as they find a restaurant or activity that interests them.

Background

According to the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO), the number of South Korean visitors to Japan reached a record high of approximately 9.46 million in 2025, with travel spending also hitting an all-time high. Our internal data confirms a steady increase in bookings from Korea, with growing interest not only in dining but also in cultural experiences. However, barriers such as language and the inconvenience of waiting for booking confirmations have previously led to missed opportunities for travelers.

In March 2026, the number of inbound visitors to Japan exceeded 3.61 million, a record for the month of March. South Korea remained the largest market with approximately 790,000 visitors (up 15.0% year-on-year), driving growth alongside Taiwan. Unlike long-haul markets which are susceptible to geopolitical risks and rising flight costs, short-haul Asian markets like Korea provide stable demand for Japan’s inbound tourism.

Against this backdrop, JapanTicket is leveraging its inbound attraction platform along with the network of over 15,000 restaurants provided by its group company Ebisol’s reservation management system, “ebica,” to further strengthen its ability to capture demand from Korea, starting with the high-demand dining sector.

Partnership Overview

The Significance for Japan Ticket Holdings　

Japan Ticket Holdings operates “ebica,” a reservation management system for restaurants, and “Japanticket Plus,” an inbound customer attraction service. By combining the reservation management expertise cultivated in the restaurant industry with a sales network connected to global OTAs (Online Travel Agencies), we have created an environment where tourism merchantsand restaurants can seamlessly accept overseas visitors within their existing workflows.

The partnership with Myrealtrip further accelerates these efforts. JapanTicket offers not only restaurant reservations but also cultural experiences such as Sumo, Ninja experiences, Daruma painting, and chopstick making. As interest in experience-based content grows among Korean travelers alongside high demand for dining, new opportunities for customer attraction are expanding in both sectors.
Under our mission to “Through people and technology, we empower merchants to deliver OMOTENASHI and bring refined experiences to the world “we will continue to strengthen the foundation for delivering Japan’s wonderful food and cultural experiences to even more inbound travelers.

Comment from Myrealtrip　

Mr. Choi Seungmo, Japan Team Leader at Myrealtrip:

At 27%, the ratio of dining expenditure by Korean tourists in Japan is the highest among major visiting countries. We felt this demand firsthand while co-operating a special dining feature page with JapanTicket previously. We want to create an environment where more Korean travelers can enjoy the food and experiences across Japan without the hassle of booking. I am very pleased to have taken this first step through this partnership with JapanTicket.
