How to reserve online for Kura Sushi?

Kura Sushi conveyor belt restaurant unfortunately does not take reservations. However, if you’re stopping by the Tokyo Skytree it’s a quick 2-minute walk across the street. We recommend stopping in prior to the busy lunch and dinner times. For example, there was a wait around of ~1 hour and 30 minutes when we showed up late afternoon approaching dinner. Therefore, we went to walk around the mall connected to Tokyo SkyTree!

Our Opinion on Kura Sushi Japan

We have to be honest, this isn’t going to be the best quality sushi you can find in Japan! However, for the price you pay which is very cheap, we enjoyed this sushi conveyor belt restaurant very much.

 

 

There were 4 of us eating and we ate for a total of 3,784 yen which is approximately $25 USD. To put this into perspective that was on average 17 pieces of sushi per person. In Canada, we would be paying around $20-25 USD per person for an equivalent amount of sushi eating out at a restaurant!

 

 

We loved the interactive experience, and if you don’t want to chat with any servers you don’t have to! It’s fully automated so that you can order what you desire on the table or wait for your favorite sushi to arrive on the conveyor belt! This is great for every situation from solo diners to family dinners, the booths will seat around 4 comfortably, maybe 5 on the high end. Overall, we highly reccomend Kura Sushi conveyor belt for a lunch or dinner restaurant in Tokyo.
