6 best CBD shops and cafés in Tokyo

Located right outside Komaba-todaimae station, this CBD speciality store serves takeout coffee and smoothies with CBD oil. An active ingredient of cannabis derived from hemp but without the hallucinogen, cannabidiol is said to relieve pain, anxiety and stress.

On the menu you’ll find black coffee (¥400), latte (¥450), six kinds of banana-based fruit smoothies (from ¥700), three kinds of veggie smoothies (¥700), pineapple juice (¥450) and chai (¥450). Yes, they all come with drops of CBD oil, and you can choose your dosage.

The effects and taste of CBD oil can differ from brand to brand – some more potent and others odorless – so do consult the staff if you’re new to this. CBD Coffee also features a retail space where you can purchase a variety of CBD products including oils, vapes, gummies and more.

You’ll find plenty of vegan treats at Healthy Tokyo and they’re all infused with a dose of CBD. Beginners should start with a piece of chocolate (¥600) or a cookie (¥800) which only have 10mg and 15mg of CBD respectively, while a brownie (¥2,100) is infused with 45mg. The menu also includes a line up of organic coffee and tea, as well as fruit sodas and cocktails with CBD. You can also purchase the brand’s own CBD oil which includes Japanese flavours like hakka mint and yuzu. The chain has outlets in Harajuku, Daikanyama and Haneda Airport. 

This California-inspired café in Azabujuban serves coffee (from ¥400), juice (from ¥400) and even sandwiches (from ¥550) laced with 20mg of CBD oil from Japanese CBD brand Ataracia. If you’d rather go easy, you can ask for less CBD or none at all.

You won’t miss this bright red café that sits in the centre of Dogenzaka district in Shibuya. The café is run by LD&K, owners of other local cafés like Udagawa and Sakuragaoka. It has plenty of seats with free wifi, so it’s a popular spot for working remotely during the day.

The lunch menu includes a range of staple dishes like keema curry (¥1,100) and ginger pork (¥1,100), plus a line up of CBD-infused food and drink. Spend a relaxing afternoon with a CBD coffee (¥990) or latte (¥1,045) with a side of CBD chocolate ganache (¥600), or maybe a chocolate terrine (¥680). If you’re here in the evening, try a CBD beer (¥890) from Sanktgallen Brewery in Kanagawa – the beer is sold exclusively at this café, Udagawa Cafe and the brewery’s online shop.
