Japan is becoming one of the most halal-friendly travel destinations in the world. With over 800 halal-certified restaurants, 110 mosques, and prayer spaces in airports, train stations, and malls, the country is deeply committed to inclusivity.
The Muslim population in Japan has grown from 110,000 in 2010 to 230,000 in 2025, fueled by tourism, immigration, and local conversions. Hotels like APA and Dormy Inn now offer halal meals, prayer mats, and qibla direction, while restaurants such as Sushi Ken, Ayam-Ya, and Honke Tankuma have embraced halal menus.
Local culture is opening up: open mosque days at Kobe Mosque and Tokyo Camii promote interfaith dialogue and community building. Apps like Halal Navi help travelers locate halal eateries and prayer areas with ease.
Blending tradition, innovation, and hospitality, Japan is now a safe, respectful, and welcoming destination for Muslim travelers.
