A digital travel guide containing vegan, vegetarian, macrobiotic, organic, and gluten-free restaurants in Japan.
Majority of them are located in Tokyo, but I've also included some excellent spots in Kyoto and Fukuoka.
🌟 I’ve organized each restaurant with a convenient category that explains what type of food they serve
🌟 I’ve also included links to their websites/social media.
This guide contains 50 locations with many varieties of food, including:
🍰🍩 desserts
🍜🥢 ramen
🌮🍔 international cuisine
🍛🍱 Japanese food
☕️🥪 cafes and bakeries
💖💰 higher end restaurants for a special meal
📌 This guide also includes a zero-waste Guesthouse that has an earth-friendly plant-based café and bar, that sells by weight, without trash.
💕✨ I've also created a FREE vegan and vegetarian Japanese word and phrase list to help you navigate Japan, so you can just show people your phone, and point.
I’ve also including a handy Gluten Free phrase and help guide, too.
My hope is that even if you don't purchase my guide, these free phrase lists will at least help you! ✨

Helpful Terms for Vegan and Vegetarian travellers:
The more commonly used terms:
vegetarian: ベジタリアン (beh-ji-tarian)
vegan: ヴィーガン (vui-gan) OR ビーガン (bee-gan)
The more traditional terms:
Buddhist vegan: 完全菜食主義者 (kanzen saishoku shugisha)
vegetarian 菜食主義者 (saishoku shugisha)
☆︶︶︶︶☆ ︶︶︶︶☆
NOTE: Even if you’re vegan, it’s good to start with this phrase, “beh-ji-tarian des” (I’m vegetarian) since it is already rare to be a vegetarian in Japan.
Saying you’re vegan will go over many people's heads, so if they say that they "can’t serve a vegetarian", they definitely can not serve a vegan.
Some helpful phrases you can keep handy on your phone:
I don’t eat meat, seafood, eggs and dairy products
肉とシーフードと卵と乳製品を食べません
(o-niku, shifudo, tamago, to nyūseihin wo tabemasen)
I don’t eat pork
豚肉を食べません
(buta niku wo tabemasen)
I don’t eat chicken
鶏肉を食べません
(tori niku wo tabemasen)
I don’t eat fish stock
魚のだしを食べません (sakana no dashi wo tabemasen)
I don’t eat eggs
卵を食べません
(tamago wo tabemasen)
I don’t eat cheese
チーズを食べません
(chizu wo tabemasen)

How to express having an allergy:
I am allergic to shrimp
エビのアレルギーがあります
(ebi no arerugi ga arimasu)
For example:
I am allergic to _____________________
_____________________ の アレルギーがあります
_____________________ no arerugi ga arimasu
☆︶︶︶︶☆ ︶︶︶︶☆
GLUTEN FREE TIPS:
Many Japanese dishes contain soy sauce and/or miso, and most of them contain gluten.
I am allergic to wheat
小麦アレルギーです
(Komugi arerugi desu)
麩 質 Fushitsu is the Japanese word for gluten
グ ル テ ン sometimes it is written in Katakana, as “gu-ru-ten”
Things to avoid:
小麦, 小麦 粉
Komugi is wheat, komugiko is wheat flour.
麦 Mugi is barley, usually in mugicha, barley tea. Or rye, called rye-mugi (ライ麦).
醤 油 Shoyu, or soy sauce
味噌 Miso paste
水 飴 Mizuame, or malt syrup, and barley malt syrup are in many sweets
Helpful Phrases:
I cannot eat food that contains gluten. So I cannot eat anything made with wheat, rye or barley. That means that I cannot eat soy sauce which contains wheat, or miso that contains wheat.
私はグルテンを含む食品が食べられません。小麦・大麦・ライ麦が使われているものは全部です。そのため、小麦を原料としている醤油や味噌もいっさい口にできません。
I have a serious disease called celiac disease, so that I cannot eat food that contains gluten. I cannot eat anything made with wheat, rye, or barley. I cannot eat soy sauce which contains wheat or miso that contains wheat.
私は、グルテンの摂取によって発症する「セアリック病」という深刻な病気をもっています。そのため、小麦・大麦・ライ麦が使われている食品は食べられません。小麦を原料としている醤油や味噌もいっさい口にできません。
Does this contain wheat?
これは小麦を使っていますか。
Does this contain barley?
これは大麦を使っていますか。
Does this contain soy sauce?
これは醤油を使っていますか。
When you go to a chicken grilling shop, they can dip it in a sauce which contains soy sauce, but you can ask them to do the salt sprinkled version instead:
Can you do shio-yaki (salt-flavored)?
塩だけで焼いてもらえますか。

✔️ made by someone with seafood/nut allergies! 🙅🏻♀️🥜🐟
(edit) please note: this list includes places I've been to and DID NOT have an allergy issue there. unfortunately not many places in Japan are made for 100% seafood allergy or vegan places because well, its a highly seafood based country. Anyway, hope this helps :)

Two week guide to Japan: Osaka->Kyoto->Tokyo
This itinerary is designed to hit the major highlights of Japan and visits the top three cities of Japan for first time visitors. To get the most out of your travel time I suggest flying into Osaka and out of Tokyo. You can also of course flip this itinerary around and start in Tokyo and end in Osaka.
This trip only has you riding the Shinkansen (the bullet train) one time, between Kyoto and Tokyo, and thus does not require you to purchase a JR Rail pass.

A hotel room with an epilepsy warning? An omakase course of tea-based cocktails? I can't say for sure these are hidden gems, but after months of seeing everyone and their moms go to Japan since COVID reopening, I can say these were some of my favorite spots that I seldom saw people visit.
Hi! I'm a Brooklyn-based tech journalist-turned-corporate comms editor. Early in my career I spent a stint as a luxury travel planner and writer specializing in Asia, and if I can toot my own horn, I'm often the friend everyone says "wth Natt, how do you find all these cool spots, drop that itin." (Fine, they don't say it like that, but you get the point).
Travel planning is a great hobby for me, and I am writing this as both a journal to remember my trip by and to share with friends, hence the overly familiar tone you might find below. If you discovered this on the Thatch platform, consider giving my guide a shot and hopefully you'll find it useful for an adventuresome visit to Japan!
This guide includes:
✈️ Pre and post-arrival pro-tips
🛌 Hotel, restaurant, and activity suggestions with some personal anecdotes (we vetted any Instagram vs realities!)
📍 Resources, databases, and things to make your journey more efficient and economical
It is not:
📆 A list of daily itineraries
❓ "Beginner's guide to Japan" i.e. how to book JR trains, basic etiquettes, how to transfer from airport to city

One way to get souvenirs in Japan is to collect station stamps (eki stamps) or maybe temple/shrine stamps called "goshuin". But did you know that you can also collect tower stamps?
I have compiled the 19 towers in Japan. See below for more information on where you can collect the stamps!
For private tours in Osaka, Kyoto, and Kobe or for Japan itinerary planning, you can send me a direct message on Instagram @aritravelsjp.
