Ekiten Review Scraper for CSV Export
This Ekiten review scraper turns public Ekiten shop review pages into a structured CSV for reputation research, local market analysis, and voice-of-customer review work. Import the workflow into the UScraper local desktop app, add one or more Ekiten /shop_ URLs, and export reviewer names, review titles, ratings, posted dates, visit dates, budget notes, review text, likes, and shop replies without building a scraper from scratch.

Export Ekiten reviews from shop pages
Ekiten is a Japanese local directory, so reviews are useful when they keep the store context and the customer's visible details together. This Ekiten data extractor starts from public shop URLs such as https://www.ekiten.jp/shop_1055997/, reads the rendered page, and writes one CSV row per detected review.
The automation is designed for controlled batches, not anonymous high-volume crawling. It navigates to each URL, waits for load, checks whether Ekiten returned a human-verification page, and, when the real page is available, runs a review-row parser before Structured Export writes the fixed columns. If verification remains active, the workflow exports a diagnostic row instead of silently creating an empty file.
Review text with usable context
Export review titles, ratings, dates, visit/budget clues, likes, and shop replies beside the store name and source page URL.
Pagination is already wired
The graph detects an enabled next-review control, clicks it, waits for the next page, and loops until no next page is available.
Local desktop execution
The stock workflow saves the CSV to your configured folder and does not send the exported review dataset through UScraper infrastructure.
Failure states stay visible
Verification blocks and no-row detections are written as diagnostic rows, so audit teams can see why a page did not produce normal review data.

How to use
Configure the Ekiten review scraper workflow
2
Add Ekiten shop URLs
Replace or extend the sample URL in the Navigate block with public Ekiten /shop_ pages. Start with a small set so you can audit output quality.
3
Handle verification carefully
The workflow checks for the text Let's confirm you are human, clicks the visible Begin button when present, pauses for manual verification, then refreshes before extraction.
4
Confirm the export path
Structured Export writes ekiten-review-scraper.csv with headers enabled and append mode on. Change the save folder before client or category-specific runs.
5
Run and review the CSV
Open the export, spot-check source URLs, verify Japanese text encoding, and filter diagnostic rows before using the data in reports or analysis tools.

CSV columns produced by the Ekiten review scraper
The export shape comes from the Structured Export block in the JSON template. Values can be blank when Ekiten hides a field, a shop has no visible reviews, or verification blocks the automated session.
| store_name | reviewer | review_title | rating | posted_date | budget | review_text | shop_reply |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Example Hair Salon | 佐藤さん | 丁寧なカウンセリングでした | 4.5 | 2026/05/18 | ￥5,000 | Staff explained the menu clearly and the visit felt organized. | Thank you for visiting. |
| Sample Clinic | 田中さん | 予約が取りやすい | 4.0 | 2026/04/02 | The reception process was smooth and the location was convenient. | ||
| BLOCKED_BY_AWS_WAF_HUMAN_VERIFICATION | Ekiten returned a human-verification page, so review rows were not accessible. |

Frequently asked questions
Ekiten reviews may be publicly visible, but automated collection can still be limited by Ekiten terms, robots directives, copyright, privacy rules, database rights, and local law. Keep runs modest, avoid bypassing access controls, respect removal requests, and get legal review before publishing or reusing exported review text commercially.
Before you run
Practical limits and maintenance notes
Keep these Ekiten constraints visible
Verification
AWS WAF can pause extraction
Ekiten may show human verification during automated testing. Use a visible browser session, solve allowed challenges manually, reduce batch size, and avoid repeated rapid retries from the same network.
Layout drift
Review markup can change
Empty titles, missing ratings, or NO_REVIEW_ROWS_DETECTED rows usually mean the shop has no visible review rows, the reviews moved to another page, or the template needs selector maintenance.
Compliance
Review text can contain personal data
Use exports for approved research workflows, keep source URLs and run dates with the dataset, and avoid spam, unauthorized resale, or model training unless your legal basis is clear.
