September sounds wonderful! It's still warm, but a great time to explore before the autumn season fully begins. Just note there can occasionally be some rain or typhoons, so it's good to stay flexible.
Since you don't eat meat, I recommend visiting these vegetarian and vegan-friendly spots in Tokyo!
☑️T's Tantan (Tokyo Station)
100% vegan ramen inside the Tokyo station, very easy to access.
☑️Brown Rice (Omotesando)
Japanese-style vegan meals.
Also, many izakayas offer plenty of vegetable and seafood-based small dishes, so even if the place isn't fully vegetarian, you'll still find lots of options — especially in more traditional or Japanese-style izakayas like the one in this video. 🥢
Hope you enjoy your visit next September!
