Route 9 Diner prices in Tokyo 2026: is 1,800 yen normal?
The chicken fried steak is their priciest plate, so 1,800 yen tracks. The basic burgers sit around 1,300 to 1,400 and the breakfast plates closer to 1,000, so you didn't get gouged, just ordered at the top of the menu.
yep, and the lunch set knocks a couple hundred off
Makes sense, though I'd add that the drink refills are free, which softens the 1,800 a bit.
Free refills only before 11, I think.
burger prices went up in january, the bacon cheeseburger is 1,500 now. breakfast plates still hold under 1,100 though. so yeah 1,800 is just the top of the menu not a rip off
that top of the menu point is the real answer
Drink bar is a separate 200 yen now, which is the detail people keep missing when they add up the bill.
Breakfast plates crept past 1,000 in January too.
Prices went up again in April, so those plates are closer to 1,200 now
second this, and the tax gets added on top
Tokyo work visa renewal 2026: what documents do I need?
Your employer files the COE at their local immigration bureau, so ask them to start it now since it takes 1 to 3 months.
Agreed, and add a month of buffer since January is peak renewal season at the Shinagawa immigration bureau.
ask them to send u the COE scan before u book the flight
employers here often drag their feet on the COE until u nudge them, so get a written timeline from them first
One thing: the bakery needs a 雇用保険 and 社会保険 setup before immigration will even look at it, so confirm they've got that sorted.
Timing matters too: COE applications submitted in late March tend to clear faster than the December crunch before the new fiscal year.
Right, and it's worth naming the actual office on your side of the desk: the employer lodges it at the Tokyo Regional Immigration Bureau at Konan, Minato, not the local ward office. Some bakeries assume otherwise and lose a week.
The usual snag is the job description: "baker" alone can read as unskilled, so the employer should write it around baking techniques and recipe development to fit the skilled labour category. Also check your passport name matches the COE exactly, middle names cause delays.
Also get the employer to attach a few photos of finished products and any competition or training certificates, since immigration officers here respond well to visual proof.
Middle name mismatch cost me six weeks. Match exactly.
