No, Japan is awful for Celiac. I did an 8 hour stopover, and even that was a struggle. Soy sauce is fermented in wheat. Rice uses wheat gluten to make it sticky, so even 7/11 stuff is no good. They even put wheat in their green tea. Buckwheat noodles almost always have wheat flour too. And they don't want to make you sick, so they won't try to help. I found a noodle place in the train station, and another restaurant that was closed for the day I was there. That was about it. Fortunately we flew home Japan Airlines, so I also didn't eat on the flight. Airport? Haha, no food for you. The emergency granola bars were wearing thin by the time we hit Vancouver.
