Halal | Discover Food Diversity in Japan

Scroll

Kyoto is the cultural and historical heart of Japan. It’s the best place in all Japan to experience traditional temples, shrines, gardens, geisha, shops, restaurants and festivals. In short, Kyoto is one of the must-visit places in Japan. With that reputation, Kyoto has been striving to provide its hospitality to diverse customers, which can also be seen with more restaurants providing Halal or Muslim-friendly options.
