Uber Eats Japan will launch services in Tokushima, Matsue, Tottori and Fukui from Sept. 28, the food delivery platform has announced.

The platform is currently used to order food from restaurants and other dining facilities in 43 prefectures in Japan. Its launch in these four cities will expand the service to all 47 prefectures.

Run by Uber Technologies Inc., Uber Eats began operating in Japan in 2016, starting from Tokyo. Absorbing demand from people staying home due to the pandemic, it gradually expanded from big cities such as Tokyo and Osaka to regional areas.

The platform has tied up with convenience store chain Lawson, Inc. in some areas where it delivers food and daily necessities.
