Go To Eat OSAKA
What it is and how to use it!
Hi! I’m Shen. I’d like to share my experiences with the new Go To Eat program.
Here’s a summary of what the program is and how to use it. I’m so excited to be helping Osaka’s fabulous restaurants while eating delicious food!
In summary, the Go To Eat program is a limited time measure aimed at helping the restaurant industry, which has been heavily impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. Subsidies are being provided to participating restaurants by the Japanese Government’s Ministry of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries.
I love eating out and now the government is footing 30% of the bill. What a deal! I am a huge fan of this new program.
If you are concerned about the risk of contracting Covid while dining out, don’t worry. Only restaurants that are following the Ministry of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries infection prevention guidelines are able to participate in the program.
To take advantage of Go To Eat OSAKA and get your 25％, you’ll need to know how the program works.
Once you understand how the program works, you can save a lot of money.
The first thing to know about the Go To Eat OSAKA program is how to use the dining vouchers.
Up to 2 sets of vouchers can be purchased at a time.
One set, with a value of ¥13,000, costs ¥10,000. That means you save 3,000 for every ¥10,000 you spend.
