Majority of them are located in Tokyo, but I've also included some excellent spots in Kyoto and Fukuoka.

🌟 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)

Being on a plant-based diet can be tricky when overseas, especially in a city where you don't speak the local language fluently.
This is my full guide on where to find plant-based desserts and food in Tokyo. Most of them are located around the Shibuya and Shinjuku area. Hope you will enjoy it!
Disclaimer: The information here are as good as the date published. As stores open and closed periodically, sometimes without announcements, do google or check before visiting to avoid disappointment.
Also, in Japan, the term plant-based/vegan is loosely used. Strict vegans may want to pay attention and check the ingredients used.
