CHUGOKU REGION

It is rare these days to find a restaurant in Japan that has
absolutely no idea about vegetarian diets. Confusion, however, does remain. Awareness that fish-based dashi (stock)rules out much Japanese cuisine for vegetarians cannot
always be relied upon. The same goes for salad dressingsand deep-frying foods in separate oil. Least understood, perhaps, is the concept of animal rennet used in cheese production. Wherever possible, we have listed restaurants witha good understanding of vegetarian needs and that clearly
list ingredients. If in doubt, please use the food checklist on
the back of this guide to help you to eat compassionately andwell during your time here.

2h

As Japan welcomes more and more visitors from around the world, efforts arebeing made to accommodate a diverse
range of dietary needs. While the numberof restaurants that cater to vegetarians
is growing here in the Chugoku Region,
they are still rather limited, particularly

Izumo Taisha Grand Shrine21Legends, culture andvegetarian cuisine in
the San’in region
The San’in region is one of Japan’s best
kept secrets. With stunning scenery andancient culture steeped in legend, it’s theperfect place to escape the crowds andimmerse yourself in “real” Japan. Witha little planning, it is also a great area
in which vegetarians can enjoy awesome Japanese cuisine in wonderfulsurroundings.

YASUGI

Daisen x Sanraku-so

Yasugi is home to historic buildings, traditional Japanesehandicrafts, hot springs and the Adachi Museum of Art,
famed for its award-winning Japanese garden. It also, however, boasts two excellent places to stay overnight thatcater to vegetarian and vegan travelers. This makes Yasugi
an excellent base for a meat and fish-free exploration ofJapanese culture.

The 1729m Mt Daisen dominates the surrounding landscape and the temple and shrine complex which contains Daisen-ji Temple, a trainingbase for mountain aesthetics for centuries, andOgamiyama Shrine Okunomiya, with its impressive stone steps, is located at the start of the trail.

Adachi Museum of Art x ChikuyoU

Sanraku-so

Zen Burger

Chikuyou is a delightful ryokan run by a young couple, literally
on the doorstep of the Adachi Museum of Art and near many
traditional craft studios and shops, that serves macrobiotic vegetarian meals with advance reservation. (see p.21 9 )Sanraku-so offers ‘shukubo’ temple accommodation and huge vegan
Buddhist feasts made mostly with wild mountain vegetables pickedfrom within or near the temple grounds. (see p.19 7 )Kiyomizu-dera x Koyo-kan
Kiyomizu-dera Temple was founded over 1400 years
ago, and you will find a tranquility here unthinkable atits famous namesake in Kyoto. It isn’t far from Yasugi’sother attractions, but those who stay within the temple
grounds may prefer to spend their entire day soaking
up the atmosphere.

@Adachi Museum of Art

Whether you climb to the summit of Mt Daisen, orjust enjoy exploring the temple grounds, Daisen
village is a great place to escape the bustle ofthe lowlands for a while. Also, don’t forget to try
Sanraku-so’s original vegan ‘Zen Burger’.
Access to Adachi Museum of Art and Chikuyou

Access to Daisen and Sanraku-so

Free shuttle buses (20min) run throughout the day between Yasugi JR
Station and Adachi Museum of Art.

It’s a 30min drive between Yonago JR Station and
Daisen-ji Village. Several buses a day run between
Yonago JR Station and Daisen-ji Village (50min).

Koyo-kan’s ‘shojin’ traditional Buddhist cuisine is usually prepared using fish stock, but its young and inventive chef will create beautifully presented, 100% veganmulti-course meals for those who reserve in advance.
