Halal Souvenirs & Emergency Food in Japan: Our New Online Shop for Muslim Travelers

Traveling to Japan with Your Own Food? There’s One Important Thing to Know

Many Muslim travelers bring food from their home country because they are concerned about finding halal or Muslim-friendly food in Japan.

However, bringing food into Japan from overseas can be subject to Japanese quarantine and import regulations, and some food products may not be permitted to enter the country. This can be especially important when traveling with meat products, animal-derived ingredients, or other restricted foods.

So, rather than bringing a large supply of food from home, why not prepare what you need after arriving in Japan?

Our new online shop, operated by the Muslim Visitor Center 🇯🇵 Sapporo, allows Muslim travelers to order halal and Muslim-friendly food and souvenirs in advance and have them delivered to their hotel anywhere in Japan.

This can save you a significant amount of time and effort during your trip—and give you peace of mind that you already have something suitable to eat when you need it.

Have Emergency Food Ready Before You Travel to Rural Areas

Japan has many beautiful rural destinations, but finding halal or Muslim-friendly restaurants can be difficult outside major cities.

Our online shop offers a selection of:

• 🍜 Portable instant ramen
• 🍚 Instant and prepared rice
• 🥘 Ready-to-eat meals and other convenient foods
• 🎁 Hokkaido-exclusive souvenirs
• 🛍️ Other portable halal and Muslim-friendly Japanese products

You can order these items before traveling to a rural area, or simply keep them as emergency food for days when you are too tired to go out for a meal.

Have Everything Delivered Directly to Your Hotel

You don’t need to carry these products around Japan from the beginning of your trip.

Simply place your order in advance, and we can ship it to your hotel anywhere in Japan.

Shipping fees

• ¥1,500 flat rate for orders under ¥15,000
• FREE shipping for orders of ¥15,000 or more
• This includes delivery to Hokkaido and Okinawa

We recommend completing your order at least one week before your desired delivery date.

Please make sure your hotel can receive parcels on your behalf before placing your order. We do not recommend sending orders to Airbnb or other accommodation where nobody may be available to receive the package.

No Need to Spend Time Checking Every Ingredient

One of the biggest challenges for Muslim travelers in Japan is determining whether a product is actually suitable.

Even when a product does not contain obvious pork or alcohol, checking ingredients and production information can be difficult, especially when you are shopping at ordinary supermarkets or souvenir stores.

At our shop, we specifically select products with Muslim travelers in mind, so you don’t have to spend your valuable vacation time researching every product yourself.

Our goal is to make it easier for Muslim visitors to enjoy Japanese food and souvenirs with greater peace of mind.

Easy to Carry Home

Our products are already packed in cardboard boxes and forwarded to you, so you can simply keep them in the original packaging and check-in for the return flight.

If you plan to take food products back to your home country, however, please check your country’s quarantine and import regulations before purchasing and bringing food home. Import restrictions vary by country and by product.
