A Growing Demand for Muslim-Friendly Travel to Japan
According to the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO), June 2025 saw 3,377,800 international visitors, pushing the year’s total past 20 million, the fastest on record. Arrivals from Muslim-majority countries including Singapore (+16.4%), Malaysia (+27.5%), and Indonesia (+19.6%) rose compared to June 2024, reflecting increasing demand for halal-friendly, independent travel.

However, many Muslim travelers say they “don’t know who to ask” or “are unsure whether social media information is accurate” when searching for halal restaurants and prayer facilities in Japan.

To address these challenges, Food Diversity, Inc. has developed the “Halal Travel Japan Planner,” an innovative tool that combines artificial intelligence with cultural insight to help Muslim travelers navigate Japan’s halal travel landscape with confidence.
