MIMARU SUITES TOKYO NIHOMBASHI
Location: Chuo City, Japan
“We like staying at apartment hotels so we have a kitchen and more space. This one was great! Had a small kitchen, which helps with easy breakfasts, it was close to tons of grocery stores, and close to the subway. It’s a quiet neighborhood and not super touristy. I think the only downside was that restaurants in that area were more difficult to navigate with a food allergy, and there’s no concierge to book restaurant reservations. I did use a concierge booking service for one dinner, and it was a disaster with the allergies, so not certain it would have made a difference to have a hotel concierge. No restaurant in the hotel, only a small coffee shop.”

Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier
Location: Kyoto, Japan
“I had contacted the staff to check on allergies prior to arriving. When I checked in, they already had this information and confirmed the nature of allergies and tagged my son’s breakfast coupon with an allergy sticker.
When we went for breakfast, one of the staff confirmed the allergies we had, and walked through the entire buffet and validated each item that was ok to eat.
Further, each item has allergy labels for a couple of the allergies. They took it seriously and were always available to support as needed. Most friendly staff.”

Togetsutei
Location: Kyoto, Japan
“Serene and relaxing ryokan to stay at. I communicated with the hotel ahead of time to ensure I had gluten-free meals, and they were super accommodating! They had shabu shabu and a traditional Japanese breakfast!”

The Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto
Location: Kyoto, Japan
“When I say this is tied for the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at in my life, trust me. It’s absolutely incredible. The hospitality of the staff, the freshness of the food, and the luxurious rooms. W O W. They had gluten-free bread and pasta for me (email in advance to tell them you have celiac), and were able to prepare many items safely without cross-contact, including potatoes. They even organized a gluten-free candy-making class for me! HIGHLY and enthusiastically recommend.”

The Royal Park Hotel Tokyo Shiodome
Location: Minato City, Japan
“Great place to stay! The breakfast buffet isn’t very allergy-friendly, but our room came with a mini fridge, which came in use. It’s also really close to the subway station and a Family Mart!”

The Blossom Kyoto
Location: Kyoto, Japan
“We loved staying at this hotel in Kyoto! Each room has a refrigerator. Microwaves are available to use as well. There’s a small snack/drink area that has some free soda and individually wrapped snacks with ingredient labels (we could only eat the Biscoff cookies, but they also had ice cream bars and some others).”

“Breakfast buffet—some gluten-free options. Ask staff, I used my best judgment (fruit, yogurt, veggies, salad, eggs). “

Aman
Location: Tokyo, Japan
“We had the best burgers and cocktails at the Aman hotel bar. Great view of Tokyo at night. They didn’t have a gluten-free bun, but endured my beef was celiac-safe and gave a lot of extra veggies to compensate.”

Tokyo Disney Resort Toy Story Hotel
Location: Urayasu, Japan
“A buffet breakfast was included. We showed them my translated allergen card, and after we were seated, the supervisor (who spoke great English) came over with a dedicated allergen list for all the foods available and went through it with me, though nothing contained peanuts. The staff checked in with us throughout our meal to ensure everything was ok and we had no questions, too, which was lovely. The food was great, cafe was definitely busy.
There is also a Lawson’s onsite if you prefer prepackaged foods!
No kitchen in the room, but it did have a kettle.”
