I am trying to book a meal at the Dawn Avatar Robot cafe in Tokyo for October 28th and it says the venue is not available after October 8th. Does anyone have any idea if this is temporary or a permanent closure. Or is the date too far ahead to book at present.

Kyoto’s shrines and temples have many gravel roads, so you may have some difficulty…

I forget which airport it was (in Japan), but I did notice there were audio instructions for the toilets to ensure a visually impaired person could more easily find the door. I thought that was clever and hope it gets taken up elsewhere.
