Muslim Traveller Guide

Halal Tokyo

Tokyo rewards a little planning for Muslim travellers. Japan is not a Muslim-majority country, so halal food is not the default — but it is increasingly available, with halal ramen and curry, Turkish and Middle Eastern restaurants, and the large Tokyo Camii mosque. Prayer rooms exist at the airports and some department stores; carrying a prayer mat helps. The transport network is superb, though cash is still useful.

JPYJapan Standard Time, UTC+9 — no daylight saving.
