13-Day Vegetarian Japan Tour (Veg & Jain Friendly)
Yes — a fully vegetarian private Japan tour is practical: we completed a 13-day trip for 6 vegetarian guests from India in June 2026, with every meal stop pre-planned (Indian veg, Jain-adaptable and shojin ryori temple cuisine). Ground packages from ¥1,390,000 total for 6 — private 9-seat vehicle, driver, hotels and veg meal routing included. Enquire at rydagent.com.
Japan has a reputation problem for vegetarians — dashi in everything, menus without labels. The fix isn't luck, it's logistics: every touring day on this itinerary has pre-researched veg and Jain-friendly meal stops (Indian restaurants in Tokyo and Osaka, shojin ryori in Kyoto, stocked options for the road days), confirmed before you fly. We ran precisely this trip for a group of 6 in June 2026; this page is that itinerary.

FAQ
Is Japan doable for strict vegetarians and Jains?
Yes, with planning — the common failure is improvising meals on the day, because dashi (fish stock) hides in most casual Japanese food. On this itinerary every meal stop is researched and confirmed in advance: Indian pure-veg restaurants in Tokyo and Osaka, shojin ryori temple cuisine in Kyoto, and hotel kitchens briefed for Jain adaptations (no root vegetables on request).
Have you actually run a fully vegetarian tour?
Yes — in June 2026 we completed this exact 13-day itinerary for a group of 6 vegetarian guests from India: Tokyo, Disney, Fuji-Hakone, Kyoto, Nara and Osaka, every meal accounted for. This page is adapted directly from that trip.
What does a private vegetarian Japan tour cost?
The completed 13-day trip for 6 guests was quoted at ¥1,390,000 total as a ground package — 9-seat private vehicle with driver, hotels, transfers and all veg meal planning; flights excluded. Smaller groups cost less; you receive a transparent day-by-day quote link before paying anything.
