We use the Airwait queue management system.

Many people visiting Arashiyama probably think, "I want to minimize waiting times and make the most of my limited time."

At Chasanraku, we use a system called Airwait to manage the queue for customers waiting in line. This time, we'd like to introduce some recommended ways to use Airwait for those visiting Chasanraku during peak season (July to September).

We will begin accepting registrations for the waiting list at 10:45.

Chasanraku's usual opening time is 11:30. However, during the busy season from July to September, we start accepting reservations for the waiting list from 10:45.

Therefore, what I recommend is,Please come to Chasanraku around 10:45 AM, register for the waiting list, and then return to the shop around 11:30 AM.is.

The time from 10:45 to 11:30 is approximately 45 minutes.

If you register with Airwait, you won't need to wait in front of the store. You can use the time before the store opens to enjoy a stroll around Arashiyama.

Even the waiting time can be used to enjoy Arashiyama.

I registered for the waiting list around 10:45 AM when registration opened.

A little sightseeing before the store opens

Please return to Chasanraku a little before 11:30.

We will guide you into the store in numerical order.

Even after opening hours, if we reach full capacity, we accept registrations for a waiting list using Airwait. However, in this case, it is difficult to tell you the exact time you will be seated, and after registering, you will need to wait while keeping an eye out for a call from the restaurant.

Since you're spending time in Arashiyama, we encourage you to consider visiting us at 10:45 AM so you can make the most of your time sightseeing and shopping.

Recommended menu item: "Sesame and matcha shaved ice"


Many people are probably looking forward to this shaved ice during Silver Week. When it was unveiled at a special event at Hanshin Umeda Main Store, it sold out in just about 30 minutes after opening.

We have received many inquiries since we started offering it at Chasanraku. Depending on the availability of ingredients, we may run out of stock, but if you come around the time we open, you should be able to rest assured that we will have it in stock.

This shaved ice is rich and satisfying. (I would have it for lunch.) If you're coming specifically for the sesame and matcha shaved ice, make sure you have room in your stomach!
