1. ファミレスってどんな場所？What is a Family Restaurant in Japan?

Family restaurants, or "famiresu" in Japanese, are casual dining spots that offer a wide variety of dishes at reasonable prices. They’re popular with all kinds of people—families, solo diners, students, and even businesspeople—because of their comfort, convenience, and welcoming atmosphere.

More and more stores have Wi-Fi and power supply available, making it easy to check your mail and stay longer.



2. 人気チェーン紹介/Popular Family Restaurant Chains

Japan has a wide range of family restaurant chains, each with its own charm:


  • Gusto: Found all over Japan, with a diverse menu of Japanese, Western, and Chinese dishes. Orders are made via touchscreen tablets.


  • Saizeriya: A budget-friendly Italian-style restaurant popular with students. Try their doria or pizza!


  • Coco’s: Known for American-style meals, especially their juicy hamburg steaks.


  • Denny’s Japan: Unlike its US version, it serves uniquely Japanese-style Western meals and is great for breakfast.


3. おすすめメニュー紹介/Recommended Dishes


Popular dishes at family restaurants include Japanese-style hamburg steaks, baked rice (doria), gratin, curry rice, and spaghetti with meat sauce. These dishes often have a unique Japanese twist and are comfort food for locals.

Desserts are also a highlight—try parfaits, custard pudding, or pancakes. Many restaurants offer a self-service “drink bar” where you can enjoy unlimited coffee, tea, and juice. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or dinner, there’s something for everyone.


4. ファミレスのマナーと便利情報/Manners and Tips for Dining

In most family restaurants, a staff member will guide you to a seat, and you can order using the menu or a tablet. Payment is made at the cashier after your meal, and no tipping is required in Japan.

Free water and wet towels (oshibori) are usually provided, sometimes via self-service. Staying for a long time is generally okay, but during busy hours, it's polite to give up your seat if needed. Note that some restaurants still have smoking and non-smoking sections—be sure to ask when entering.
