Sources
Map data sources
These are the two key datasources used to seed the initial map.
Hachidory
This site is a great resource for vegatarian and vegans in Japan. The initial map data for jpveg was based on the restaurant listings from Hachidory. They have much more info than just restaurants though!
Tokyo Vegan & Vegetarian Restaurant Guide 2026-2027
This guide was available at Haneda airport last time I went through. Ok, it was probably the 2025 version. Wait, I still have it, let me see. Ah yes, it was the 2025-2026 version. Anyhow, a very helpful guide that’s update to date and now available on the map as well!

This is a list of some of the other resources available on the net. I hope that this site can serve as an additional useful resource.

Future additions
Mainstream locations
The tags already exist, but some of the future map information that I plan to add includes konbini (convenience store) locations and chains (for example, starbucks or dotour). These places may need some additional info to specify what items might be safe, but I’d prefer to include as many options as possible.
