Gluten-Free Japan Pre-Trip Checklist

What to do, and when, from six months out to your days in Tokyo. Two pages, for your phone or for print. Written by Komemaru and Maki, a Tokyo couple. Komemaru has a wheat allergy, and every item is something we do ourselves.

We email the checklist, then four short emails over ten days, one about two months before your trip and one after you are home. No newsletter. Unsubscribe any time. Information only, not medical advice. Privacy

The top of the checklist: title, the two of us, and the six-months-out section
