I lived there for almost two years. I moved without knowing anything about their culture. For me, Asia was very far from my reach. I didn't even take it into account then. The most complicated thing was joining a group of people there. They were very respectful to the point that not even a couple showed love for each other in the streets. On the other hand, everything was new to me, so I took advantage of every second to explore and learn more about Japan and my favorite city there: TOKYO. CURIOSITIES: If you don't have Japanese blood, you can't apply for Japanese citizenship. Did you know that Japan has the highest life expectancy rate in the world? 86 years for women and 79 for men. The longest life expectancy highest within Japan is located on the island of Okinawa. In addition, Shinjuku station in Tokyo is the busiest in the world. According to Wikipedia, 3.64 million people pass through this station daily. The station has 200 exits. The most important thing: It's not very expensive. You can eat for €7-8 and water always is free. You can find accommodation for €25-30 per person. Tokyo Metro costs €1.70 per person per journey. High-speed Shinkansen train lines are expensive (but it is the easiest way to travel around Japan).

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.

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.

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.

Would you like to experience staying in Japan's famous capsule hotels? I have compiled a list of capsule hotels to stay in Tokyo! I made my first trip to Japan in October 2023 where I stayed in a capsule hotel in Tokyo, Shinjuku! It was a very cozy experience, you may check out my experience in the guide below!

The largest budget hotel chain in Japan with 700 hotels in 47 prefectures; conveniently located near the train station. Below are hand-picked APA Hotels with good reviews . ✨Tip: APA Hotels are conveniently located near the train station, but the room size is incredibly small, usually 11m² / 118ft². The bathroom is particularly tiny (if you are visiting from the States or you are two people, I can not recommend unless you are used to small space); Prices differ based on the location and season, plus how advanced the booking is made; city outskirts tend to be lower priced than city centers. "Ekimae" means "by the train station".
