No worries. You'll find plenty, although there will be some challenging moments. Stay in touch and give a shout with any questions. I might also recommend A Guide to Food Buying in Japan http://www.japanfarmersmarkets.com/2012/07/a-guide-to-buying-food-in-japan-learn.html

A brilliant book about all things foodly in Japan.

Thank you both very much! I am a bit confused about the whole trip, but I would still like to stick to my rules, as a vegetarian, and explore fabulous Japanese food.
I guess I will just take a stroll in my neighborhood, or wherever I am, and look for fresh, tasty fruits, and vegs!
Thanks once again! :)

Hi Alex, Welcome to Tokyo! It is not that difficult to be a vegetarian in Tokyo. For example, Nippori is just 15 minutes from Shinjuku, so do visit the market and buy lots of fresh vegetables. Shibuya market is also so close. You will find many friends and don't worry!

Hi Alex,

Thanks for reading! It depends on where your closest station is and/or how you plan on getting to the market. Have you tried Hyperida.com? The English side is very useful in mapping out the trains as is Google maps.

That said, markets can be far away. I might suggest trying a couple different ones, but also when you arrive explore your neighborhood. Often you'll find a green grocer that will have many of the things you'll want to find for cooking.

Hi Joan!
For some time I've been looking at your blog. I am going to Japan very soon. I would really like to find a farmers market close to my place, as I'm a vegetarian (which I have heared is not that easily to manage in Tokyo, esp. without language) and I think going to farmers market would be a nice exeprience. The problem is that I don't really know the language good enough to look for farmers marekt close to me. Could you maybe advise? Do you know of any farmers market close to Shinogawamachi, Shinjuku-ku. I did my research but didn't come up with anything closer than 1.5 hour from my place. I don't know - perhaps it is considered close in Tokyo. :)
Take care!
