Japan is opening its doors to Muslim tourists
In recent years, the Japanese government has paid great attention to the development of the halal industry in the country, and is fully supporting the development of Muslim tourism. The Japan Tourism Agency has launched a program to support regions in developing different menus and organizing places of prayer, taking into account the religious needs of foreign tourists, writes The Sun.
For the successful implementation of this project, local authorities, tourism management organizations, restaurants and hotels are actively cooperating with the Japanese government.
For example, there is a new sumo-themed entertainment hall in Osaka where visitors can enjoy performances by former professional sumo wrestlers, and the on-site restaurant has a menu that includes halal and vegetarian dishes.
In the territory of the Okayama museum dedicated to the famous maneki-neko figurines, a prayer hall was opened together with food establishments with a halal certificate.
Kumamoto Prefecture, famous for its natural hot springs and spas, is home to the first ryokan (Japanese inn) with halal certification.
