Have you ever heard of Shojin Ryori? It's a type of vegetarian cuisine that developed in Japan under the influence of Buddhism, which was introduced to Japan between 710 and 794 AD. Buddhist teachings include the precept of not taking life, leading monks to adopt a diet free from meat and fish. This is considered the origin of Shojin Ryori.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Takako Kato - Japan
Available for hire
I was born and raised in Japan. I love traveling and have visited nearly 40 countries so far. Currently, I shuttle between Tokyo and London, working as a travel consultant. I create itineraries and handle bookings for travelers visiting Japan.
What do you think of when you imagine Japan?
When one imagines Japan, they may envision Tokyo with its high-tech reputation, perhaps bringing to mind images of robot restaurants. Furthermore, Japan is often associated with its famous anime culture, with characters visible throughout the city. One might also think of the convenience of enjoying high-quality meals, which are surprisingly affordable.
All of these are true. In addition, there are historical places like temples, shrines, and Japanese gardens. Japan is also rich in nature, offering different scenic beauties in spring, summer, autumn, and winter. From the winter sports in Hokkaido in the north to the beach resorts in Okinawa in the south, Japan offers diverse natural landscapes to enjoy.
Regarding food..... I can talk about them non-stop!
The charms of Japan are endless. My goal is to assist travelers to Japan in creating the best memories by providing tailored itineraries based on their preferences.
I am passionate about supporting everyone who travels to Japan, ensuring they have an unforgettable experience. Let's embark on a journey together to discover the multifaceted allure of Japan.
