That is hugely useful, thank you.
I went to Tokyo in Jan 2019 to visit my son who was working out there at the time. I wasn't gluten free at the time, but was (and still am) a vegetarian. I actually found it quite difficult to eat just as a veggie, albeit not helped by the fact I had some mobility issues and couldn't go here, there and everywhere to find suitable places to eat. I stayed in the hotel my son was working at, rather than somewhere that may have been a bit better for veggie options (just by way of explanation!). I want to return with my husband (he had no annual leave left at the time), as I absolutely loved the Disney parks. However, I'd pretty much written it off due to the problems I had eating, and now as a coeliac, thought I'd have no chance of finding vegetarian gluten-free food. This gives me hope that it might be possible! |

This is really helpful thank you. I've recently had to go gluten free after COVID-19 left me with an intolerance and I must admit I have been worrying about what to eat while I'm in Japan.

So glad it was useful - will keep eyes open for more and post them here.
One thing to be aware of is that Time Out have a habit of reposting old stories, the date on the article is April 2021 so there is a chance that these places might have closed. I had read that eateries like this were not that frequented by local Japanese people and relied on visitors, so I would check they are still open before you make plans to perhaps rely on them. I found Google Maps is pretty upto date with places being closed, but checking now the first one on the list appears to be in operation still google/maps/place/...!4d139.7296399 |

Oh, I'd definitely double check. Going anywhere these days is a major planning headache for dietary restrictions!
I don't think we'd manage for a full holiday in Tokyo, but I think our plan is to do a trip with a cruise, then have a stay in Tokyo either before or after for a few days, long enough to do Disney at least! I was just looking on the Disney Tokyo website actually (this post inspired me to have a bit of a google around the subject) and they allow guests with dietary restrictions to take their own food in which can be heated up, which I thought was interesting. Could definitely make that work if we did Tokyo before a cruise, just take lots of suitable food in a suitcase. Certainly food for thought! |
