]]> If you’re a vegan sushi lover, you might think that Japan is not the ideal destination for you, but don’t let that misconception get in the way of your travel plans. The word “sushi” doesn’t actually have anything to do with fish. Instead, it translates to something like “sour” in Japanese, in reference to the vinegar used in preparing sushi rice. While it’s true that sushi is often associated with raw fish, Japan is home to some amazing sushi restaurants with vegan menus just as extensive as their fishy counterparts. Here are a few of our favorites:

Gonpachi

Gonpachi is a popular Japanese restaurant located on the 14th floor of the E-Space Tower in Shibuya, Tokyo. Vegans and vegetarians alike are sure to enjoy its dedicated plant-based menu, which contains options for sushi, tempura, noodles, and more.

Sushi Sansui

40 minutes north of Tokyo, in the city of Saitama, you’ll find Sushi Sansui, a small sushi restaurant run by traditional sushi chefs. Sansui offers a wide range of vegan and vegetarian options made with ingredients like okra, broccoli, and mushrooms. 

Katsumidori Seibu

For a traditional conveyor belt sushi experience, be sure to check out Katsumidori Seibu in the Udagawachō district of Shibuya, Tokyo. Non-vegan guests are free to take fish, while plant-based travelers are free to choose from plates made with cucumber, avocado, and even eggplant.

]]> How does one internalize the culture of an entire country? When it comes to one as legendary and historic as Japan, it’s damn near impossible. However, there are certain activities you can do to get your foot in the door, things that’ll truly make you feel like you’re in another world. So without further ado, here are four life-changing things you should do in Japan.

Stay in a Buddhist Temple

Japanese culture has a strong connection to religion, which is why we recommend staying in a Buddhist temple. You can keep to yourself while there and enjoy the surroundings, or you can be more active and participate in communal prayers and meditation.

Eat Sushi

You’ve eaten sushi before, but the way they do it in Japan is on another level. Considering the fact that sushi comes from there, it makes sense that they’d know the inner workings of how to make it best. To really capitalize on the experience, we recommend eating it off one of their iconic conveyor belts.

Mount Fuji

Mount Fuji is an incredible sight to see, and it can be viewed from a handful of different locations. This mountain is holy to the citizens of Japan, adding a whole other spiritual element to the experience.

Bamboo Forests

If you’re someone who loves nature, walking through the bamboo forests of Japan will be unlike anything you’ve ever done. Check out the Sagano Bamboo Forest and you’ll feel like you stepped into a serene daydream.
