Time travel is limited to one specific chair from "summary" of Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi

In this cozy café tucked away in a corner of Tokyo, there sits an unassuming wooden chair. It may not look like much to the casual observer, but those in the know understand its true power. For you see, this chair holds within it the ability to transport those who sit upon it through time. But there is a catch, as there often is with such extraordinary abilities. The time travel that is facilitated by this chair is not without its limitations. One must be seated in this very chair in order to journey through time. It is as if the chair itself is a portal, a gateway to another era. This restriction may seem arbitrary at first glance, but it serves a purpose. By confining time travel to this single chair, it ensures that those who embark on such a journey do so with intention and deliberation. It forces them to confront the reality of their choices and the consequences of their actions. In a world where time is a precious commodity, this limitation is a reminder of the responsibility that comes with the ability to manipulate it. It is a safeguard against reckless behavior and thoughtless decisions, a way to ensure that time travel is not taken lightly. So the next time you find yourself in that quaint little café, take a moment to appreciate the significance of that unassuming wooden chair. It may just hold the key to unlocking the mysteries of time itself.
