Yes. Every restaurant on the itinerary has been personally visited and verified in person by our celiac founder Josh. A licensed Japanese host is present at every group meal to communicate protocols with the kitchen in Japanese. Reservations are pre-arranged. We are honest about limitations — we cannot fully control third-party kitchens — but the process removes the vast majority of risk that a celiac traveller carries on their own.

Traditional Japanese shoyu contains wheat, and it appears in almost everything. The safe alternative is tamari, a wheat-free soy sauce that quality Japanese restaurants stock. We speak Japanese at every restaurant to confirm tamari is used and cross-contamination is managed.

A maximum of seven travellers. We intentionally cap the group small because celiac-safe kitchens can only coordinate a handful of tailored covers per service without cutting corners.

Accommodation across the 11 days, all in-country ground transport including shinkansen and the Miyajima ferry, a licensed Japanese host at every meal, curated celiac-safe dining, pre-arranged reservations, translated dietary communication and 24/7 on-tour support. International flights are not included.

The tour departs on Monday 26 October 2026 and returns Thursday 5 November 2026 — 11 days on the ground across Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Hiroshima and Miyajima.

From USD $3,300 for a solo traveller with their own private room. USD $4,550 per person for a double room (shared bed); USD $4,950 per person for a twin room (two singles). The currency switcher on the pricing panel converts to AUD, EUR, GBP, CAD, NZD or JPY at indicative rates — final invoice is in USD.

Only four of the seven places remain. Register your interest and book a complimentary discovery call — we walk you through the itinerary, confirm dietary details, and take a deposit. Balance is due 90 days before departure.

We regularly accommodate combined dietary requirements. Around 30% of our travellers have a second dietary consideration beyond gluten. Tell us at booking and we brief each restaurant.

No. Your Japanese host speaks the language natively and handles all restaurant communication on your behalf. You will also carry a professionally translated Japanese dietary card.

Between 6 and 10 kilometres per day on flat urban surfaces, with two days that include stair climbs. Nothing on the itinerary requires hiking.

Josh, our founder, hosts every Japan tour personally alongside a licensed local Japanese guide. Josh has celiac disease himself.

Your host has 24/7 contact with English-speaking doctors in every city on the itinerary.

Yes. We provide a curated Tokyo and Osaka pre/post-tour guide. Roughly half of our travellers add three to five days on either end.
