What You’ll Do
Eating vegetarian or vegan in Japan can be difficult due to hidden ingredients and language barriers.
This tour is designed to make your food experience easy and delicious. We visit carefully selected vegetarian and vegan-friendly stores and restaurants while sightseeing on foot.
You will learn how to navigate menus and how Japanese food culture is evolving.

🗓️ Sample Itineraries
Choose the neighbourhood that suits you from seven options: Shibuya, Harajuku, Shimokitazawa, Asakusa, Ueno, Akihabara, or Ikebukuro. A few examples of how that plays out:
Example 1: Shibuya & Harajuku (Trendy & Convenient)
Wander Tokyo’s trendiest streets while your guide leads you to carefully chosen vegetarian and vegan-friendly spots — think a hearty noodle bowl, a plant-based set meal, or a lighter snack, plus a drink along the way.
Example 2: Shimokitazawa (Indie & Laid-Back)
Explore Tokyo’s thrift-shop, café-culture neighbourhood, where your guide knows the vegan-friendly spots tucked between the vintage boutiques — a good fit if you’d rather wander backstreets than main shopping strips.
Example 3: Asakusa & Ueno (Traditional Tokyo)
Pair Tokyo’s plant-based food scene with its more traditional side, exploring temple neighbourhoods and parks between vegetarian and vegan-friendly stops.

Kyoto Guide
“Shaye was awesome! It was so helpful having someone to take us around to different spots in Kyoto. It saved us so much time and allowed us to get more background on the locations. Shaye and I also traded skin care tips and I left Japan with several of her product recommendations.”

Leon
Tokyo Guide
“Our Tokyo tour with Leon was absolutely fantastic! His guidance led us through the city’s old and new aspects, imparting valuable skills like purchasing subway tickets and suggesting additional trips. Beyond all this, what we liked most was Leon himself: he’s friendly and really funny, he knows a lot about Japanese culture and traditions.”
