being vegan in japan is easy

When I tell people I’ve been vegan in Japan for 9 years, almost always they think it is difficult or nearly impossible. The truth is, it is easy and doable especially nowadays thanks to the abundance of information the Internet offers. There are, however, certain information not readily available on web but can make your life as a vegan in Japan easier and far more enjoyable.

In this site you will find helpful tips on what to do and where to go to find everything you will need as a vegan. These come from my years of experience, good and bad, as a vegan living in Tokyo. I hope you will find this site informative and useful.

listening to your inner voice

My first encounter with veganism was in 2009 when I joined a vegan meet-up gathering. Since that day, I began to learn how much humans are responsible for the suffering and death of billions of animals and the negative impact on our health and environment.

It was an eye-opening experience and a painful one, but something told me not to look away but to face the truth because deep down I knew, and we all innately know, that there is no justification in exploiting animals for food, entertainment, clothing, and animal experimentation as there are plenty of non-harmful alternatives to animal products.

I cannot stress this enoughーthere is nothing you will be “giving up” by being vegan, only receiving so much in return. So much more than you could ever imagine.
