Behind the Scenes in Japan — with Exclusive Access!
Sneak peeks, real-time updates, and exclusive content!
I’m leaving soon for Japan, where I’ll be hosting two back-to-back trips starting in Kyoto, where we’ve been blessed to see cherry blossoms in full bloom several years in a row and hoping we have some when we kick off our 2026 Joyful Vegan Japan trip.
(We are now taking pre-registrations for some pending 2027 trips, so be sure to check them out here and PRE-REGISTER for ANY trips that strike your fancy! It’s FREE to pre-register, and you’re not obligated to book once the trips go live, but you DO get first dibs when they do!)
This is an absolutely magical trip, and I’d love to take you with me—virtually (unless you’re actually with me). 😊
We start in Kyoto, head to Hiroshima (yes, visit the memorial), next to Kanazawa (wait until I share more with you!), and end — of course — in Tokyo!
I’ll be sharing behind-the-scenes updates and sneak-peek adventures exclusively with paid subscribers on Substack, including:
what I’m actually eating day to day (yes, all the vegan finds—from konbini snacks to special meals)
how we navigate Japan as vegans in real time (menus, language, surprises)
visits to tea shops and (hopefully) time in places like Uji, where matcha and gyokuro are grown
reflections on travel, culture, and what I notice differently each time I return
little tips and lessons you can use if you’re planning your own trip
Arigato Gozaimasu!
For the animals,
Colleen
