Is climbing Mount Fuji on your summer to-do list? If you’re considering trekking Mount Fuji you need to plan ahead. 

Whether you are going independently or taking a tour, you should know that about 300,000 people visit in summer to climb Mount Fuji; perhaps it’s on their to-do list too.

​The official climbing season lasts for only a little over two months, from July to mid-September.

In Japan, finding Halal products has become easier in recent years, but not all of everyday essential products.

Also, if you are not living near a Halal shop, not only you are going to spend a considerable amount of time, but also pay for transportation every time you need to buy something.

Having free time for shopping and transportation cost, are not the only obstacles that Muslims living in Japan have; especially newcomers may spend hours in supermarkets reading foods’ labels to make sure they do not contain Haram ingredients.

​When we travel, we want to buy souvenirs to spread cheer and joy to those around us.

When it comes to foodstuffs, for Muslims the choices still are limited in Japan.

Tokyo Banana "東京バナナ" and "東京ばなな", is a souvenir sweet of Tokyo which is manufactured and sold by Grapestone Company.

In Muslim-majority countries, we can find halal food so easily; in restaurants, street foods, and many other places by default. 

But here in Japan it’s different; Pork, Khamr, and many other forbidden foods for Muslims are generally consumed here. So we need to be extra selective and careful to find foods that we can consume.
