Welcome, vegetarian
travelers!
As Japan welcomes more and more
visitors from around the world, efforts
are being made to accommodate a
diverse range of dietary needs. While
the number of restaurants that cater
to vegetarians is growing here in the
Chugoku Region, they are still rather
limited, particularly outside of Hiroshima
and Okayama. We hope, however, that
this guide will help vegetarian travelers

The San’in region is one of Japan’s best
kept secrets. With stunning scenery

it’s the perfect place to escape the

a great area in which vegetarians can
enjoy awesome Japanese cuisine in
wonderful surroundings.
