Travel with Tulu
Tulu Tours was founded to solve a common challenge in modern travel that many Muslim travelers may not even realize they encounter: finding truly Muslim-friendly tours that meet halal standards. While halal travel in many Islamic, Western, and Asian countries is relatively straightforward, navigating halal travel in Japan can be more complex.
In the Far East, and Japan especially, language barriers and a different dietary culture can make it difficult for Muslim travelers to fully enjoy the country’s beauty while observing their faith. That’s where Tulu Tours steps in. We specialize in halal tours in Japan and never design itineraries or recommend food experiences without trying them ourselves. Each tour is crafted to be Islam-compliant, ensuring every experience is fulfilling and authentic for Muslim travelers in Japan.
Whether you’re traveling solo, with loved ones, or with a group of valued clients, we tailor each experience to meet your unique travel wishes and needs.
As the first boutique travel advisor specializing exclusively in bespoke halal travel in Japan, we’re proud to offer luxury halal travel with unique, off-the-beaten-path experiences typically inaccessible to Muslim travelers.

After an initial video consultation, we’ll present a tailored travel proposal based on the details shared in our conversation, ensuring a journey that aligns with your unique vision for luxury halal travel in Japan.
Tulu & Halal
Japan has seen a growing number of Muslim travelers in recent years, despite having a relatively small Muslim population. Japanese society is generally open and respectful towards diverse religions, including Islam. However, understanding of Islam and the availability of Muslim-friendly services, like halal-certified food and prayer spaces, remain limited.
In response to the surge in Muslim visitors, Japanese tourism organizations and businesses have been working to create a more accommodating environment for Muslim tourists. The availability of prayer rooms and halal food options is expanding, making Japan increasingly accessible to Muslim travelers. However, the absence of a unified halal certification authority means that businesses often rely on various bodies to verify their products and services. This can make it challenging to ensure consistent standards across the country, as restaurants and other establishments navigate the complexities of meeting halal requirements independently.
While the Japanese government and society are increasingly open to accommodating Muslim travelers in Japan, there is still a noticeable lack of variety in halal culinary experiences—especially for those seeking authentic, high-quality Japanese cuisine that fully aligns with halal standards. Tulu Tours specializes in guiding halal-conscious travelers to authentic Japanese culinary experiences that meet their dietary needs.
Our clients
Tulu Tours offers halal tours in Japan carefully curated to suit a Muslim traveler’s lifestyle—but being Muslim is not a requirement to join any of our tours, whether you choose our Omakase or tailored experiences. We invite all travelers to explore Japan with us through a halal-friendly lens, showcasing the country’s beauty and culture in a way that respects Islamic practices.
Please note that Tulu Tours only recommends sightseeing spots in Japan that align with a halal lifestyle, avoiding places like izakayas, bars, and clubs. For travelers who wish to visit such venues, we can arrange your itinerary around these activities, while leaving the booking of such spots to you. This flexibility is available only with our tailored halal tours, as our Omakase tours follow a structured itinerary focused on halal-friendly experiences in Japan.
At Tulu Tours, we also ensure time for prayers throughout the day, allowing for short prayer breaks at regular intervals. With Muslim-friendly travel options, carefully selected activities, and a commitment to providing halal experiences in Japan, Tulu Tours creates an unforgettable, respectful journey for every traveler.
