Heyhey, so I've been checkin out this place and got most of it figured out. Going to be tripping in Osaka-Tokyo in July and current travel plan allows me to check the cafe out on sunday (I know, weekend and all so bad). I might be able to get to Tokyo cafe on Mon/Tues but that's a bit tight.

Anyway I read that you NEED a japanese phone number (hotel etc) for booking, that's not too bad, but the main prob seems to be picking up the tickets. Some video I watched said to pick em up about 2 weeks prior from a Loppi machine, which might be a bit hard as my trip will be only a week-long. Somewhere I saw mentioned that if you pay with credit card you can pick them up as late as 3h before the seating.

Any info on this/tips for the cafe in general?
