Vegan tourism & hospitality thrive with exclusive 2026 expeditions 🌿 I’m thrilled to announce the continued partnership of my company Japan Travel KK with Forbes-featured award-winning chef/entrepreneur Miyoko Schinner as she leads new tours in Asia & Africa. Having guided her lovely group during our first Japan vegan tour in 2025, I can attest to her inspiring leadership and profound impact as an activist. Miyoko Schinner’s vegan tours are incredible opportunities if you value your health and animal welfare, and the Japan tour features several exceptional food/activities that I curated, showcasing some of my valued media clients 🙂 Discover these transformative journeys below, and secure your spot before they sell out!
March 2026: Japan Vegan Tour
Our 10-day Japan vegan tour is designed to enjoy cherry blossoms even if spring warming is early or late, hence adventures from warm sea level to cool mountains, and from the warm Pacific Ocean to the Siberia-cooled Sea of Japan.
Japan topped world rankings in 2024 as №1 attractive country (Condé Nast Traveler — Readers’ Choice Awards), №2 country overall (U.S. News & World Report — Best Countries) and №3 for travel/tourism (World Economic Forum — Travel & Tourism Development Index). Costs peak accordingly during high-season spring but early birds can currently benefit from a 89,000 yen (= 520 euros = 600 dollars) discount.
- Discover hidden gems, savouring award-winning yuba and Shinshu miso, visiting wasabi & tea plantations…
- Meet artisans during fascinating workshops e.g. Suruga bamboo lattice ware and matcha calligraphy.
- Find peace and relax with Zen meditation and tattoo-friendly hot springs.
- Experience otherworldly Mount Fuji, immense Lake Biwa, and futuristic shinkansen trains!
Miyoko Schinner’s vegan tours already featured Japan in 2025.
May 2026: Tanzania Vegan Tour
The 14-day Tanzania vegan tour with Still Waters Safaris is a profound opportunity to experience nature while supporting local livelihoods (51% of Tanzanians earn less than the poverty line of 3 dollars/day). Highly biodiverse, Tanzania is one of Earth’s oldest continuously inhabited areas.
- Experience a female-led cruelty-free safari in Serengeti National Park. UNESCO considers its annual migration one of the world’s most impressive natural events.

- Join a philanthropic orphanage visit.
December 2026: India Vegan Tour
The 10-day South India vegan tour with Escape To features India’s most vegan-friendly city Bengaluru/Bangalore (also Asia’s №5 according to PETA) and LGBT-progressive Tamil Nadu.
