Jiji Press created an article about “Tokyo VegeMap”, which was published in the Daily Tohoku, Yamagata, and Fukushima Minpo newspapers.

Tokyo VegeMap is a printed guide map introducing vegan-friendly eateries in Tokyo. Our organization, VegeProject Japan, has been printing this map since 2018. Last year we released the third edition titled “Tokyo VegeMap 2023-2024″.

The three articles introduce VegeMap and its history alongside color photographs.

Additionally, the article features a comment from  VegeProject Japan’s director, Haruko Kawano, wishing for this map to encourages more people to try vegan cuisine. The web version of the Japan VegeMap showcasing vegan-friendly restaurants nationwide, was also mentioned.

Tokyo VegeMap is available for free at major tourist information centers, restaurants, and accommodation facilities within Tokyo. For information on the specific locations where the map is available, please refer to this link.

We plan to regularly update Tokyo VegeMap. If you are a restaurant owner interested in being featured in the next edition or a business considering vegan-friendly options, please feel free to contact our organization.

Additionally, if your business wishes to have the map displayed, please reach out to us at event[at]vegeproject.org (replace [at] with “@”).
