Bad news about Magellan's. I've made several attempts to book a reservation on the 12th for 21 people and have completely struck out. It's been quite the process, because English translators are not always available and there's a lengthy wait to try to get one. I've tried all possible times on the 12th, splitting the group into all sorts of convoluted ways at different times throughout the day, and even tried booking individual tables of 4 or 6, and ultimately have been told that there are no tables available at all. Apparently, they let some tables book ahead of time for hotel guests, but they hold the rest of the availability back for day of reservations, so they suggested we go to the restaurant at 10am on the 12th and try to make reservations. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm open to them because after tonight's call, I think I'm out of options. On a positive note, I think I'm starting to understand Japanese.
