While Muslims make up a very tiny proportion of the Japanese population, the number of Muslim visitors has grown significantly in recent years. In general, Japanese individuals are constantly accommodating of other religions, including Islam, although there is a widespread lack of awareness of the religion, as well as a dearth of services and facilities for Muslim tourists. However, as the number of Muslim visitors has increased, tourism organisations and companies have increased their efforts to ameliorate the situation in order to better cater to Muslim tourists.
The increase of Muslim-friendly services, such as prayer facilities and halal food alternatives, makes it simpler for Muslims to travel in Japan. As a muslim traveller, passing hours in another country looking for a halal food may be tiresome. It’s even worse when you have to spend all your time with nothing but an empty stomach. Finding Halal restaurants in a Muslim minority country like Japan is really challenging. which is why we’ve collected a list of Halal eateries in Japan so you would not go hungry when traveling on the flights!
