Some ryokans are able to accommodate vegetarian requests. While many traditional dishes use fish-based stocks, some properties can provide meals entirely free of meat and seafood. Availability for vegetarian options vary, so the key is to confirm in advance.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Fully vegan meals at traditional ryokans require careful planning, as Japanese cuisine frequently uses dashi (fish or kelp-based stock), eggs, and dairy in ways that aren’t always obvious. Some ryokans can prepare vegan-friendly alternatives with sufficient notice. We help identify which properties are most likely to manage this, and what to confirm before booking.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
