Making halal food safer in Japan: Halal Food Maps released.
In recent years, the number of Muslim tourists visiting Japan has been increasing year by year. While many are attracted to Japanese culture and culinary experiences, a significant number also have concerns regarding food.
"Is this restaurant really halal?"
"Where can I find a place where I can eat with peace of mind?"
These questions are real challenges that many Muslim travelers face during their stay in Japan.
■ Background: While information has increased, it's not a situation where people can "make informed choices with confidence."
The number of restaurants in Japan that offer halal-certified options is increasing.
However, in reality,
- Information is scattered. - Halal standards vary from store to store. - Information is not being updated in time.
These challenges make it difficult for travelers to make informed decisions.
As a result, it can take a long time to choose what to eat, and there are many cases where customers don't feel comfortable entering a restaurant.

■ "Halal Food Maps" Pre-release
To address these challenges, a new service for Muslim travelers, "Halal Food Maps," has been released.
"Halal Food Maps" is a platform that allows you to intuitively search for halal-friendly restaurants in Japan using a map-based system.
■ Feature ①: Visualizing halal information
At Halal Food Maps,
Rather than simply displaying "Halal-compliant,"
• Whether or not it is halal certified • Information on the ingredients used • Consideration of the cooking environment
The aim is to organize information from multiple perspectives, allowing travelers to make decisions based on their own criteria.
Since this is a newly released product, not all information is fully available yet. However, we plan to further organize these items in more detail and provide them in a clearer and more reliable format in the future.
Feature ②: Easy-to-use map design, even while sightseeing.
Because you can search for restaurants based on your current location or area,
It can be used smoothly even while sightseeing.
Ramen, sushi, yakiniku (Japanese BBQ)
It also supports searching by genre,
You can search by "what you want to eat right now."

■ Feature ③: Check the worship space at the same time.
Not only restaurants,
• Prayer Room inside the store
• Nearby mosques and prayer spaces
This can also be checked,
A major feature is that meals and worship services can be planned together.
■ A service that is "not yet complete"
Halal Food Maps has just been released.
Not all information is completely available.
In the future,
- Development of a unique index for halal compliance levels - Expansion of listed stores - Improvement of information accuracy
We will continue to develop these and other features to evolve into a more reliable platform.
■ Towards a platform that we all grow together
This service cannot be completed by the operators alone.
The experiences and feedback of actual visitors
This is an important factor in increasing the reliability of information.
"This shop was reassuring."
"This information is slightly inaccurate."
By accumulating such voices,
We will continue to develop our services so that more Muslim travelers can use them with peace of mind.

■ Finally
There are many fascinating halal-friendly restaurants in Japan that are not yet widely known.
Halal Food Maps conveys that information accurately.
We aim to create an environment where Muslim travelers can enjoy Japanese food with peace of mind.
Please take a look at the website.
And please join us as a member who helps to nurture this service together.
