HIJ Offers Web Design For Small Companies |

In the modern day of connectivity everywhere, it is a matter of "when" and not "why" it comes to establishing an online presence.
Any business, both established and fledgling, will eventually have to take on the challenge of creating a website, a social media account, or other online footprint. The majority of the businesses listed on the Halal In Japan website are in the range of small companies. Many of them rely on free sites like Tabelog or social media platforms like Facebook to establish their online presence. |
Businesses should be aware of these kinds of platforms’ shortcomings before using them. On sites like Tabelog, the shops’ pages are made by everyone and the information is not guaranteed; besides, no one is really responsible for regularly updating the pages.
Facebook pages, which are normally used for introducing businesses, provide limited control over what you can do. For example, on our Facebook page at present, there are more than 63,000 subscribers, but our posts cannot reach all of them. Why, you may ask? Because Facebook asks us to "Boost Post", meaning we should spend money for promotion so the people who are already subscribed to our page can receive the posts.

Web Design Services
One of the main reasons that Halal In Japan started offering web design services is the problems with free sites like social media. The other one is that website building and its maintenance in Japan costs a lot.
Using the Weebly platform, you can build your own website and use it for free, or purchase a unique name for your business "URL" (for example, mycompany.com). Whether you choose the free or paid plan, you make the rules for your online platform and you are in control.
If you don’t have time to build the website yourself or if you prefer something more customized, Halal In Japan is ready to handle the project for you. We build clean, smart, and effective websites for small businesses using Weebly.com services.

Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque

Halal In Japan is an informational website based in Yokohama, introducing all types of Halal and Muslim-friendly places and businesses in Japan and also providing general tourism information.
In recent years, Japan has become one of the favorite destinations for Muslim tourists. A lot has been done to make Muslims feel welcome. The growing number of Halal items in the market, many shopping centers, hotels and restaurants providing Halal food and also prayer rooms, are all a kind of official invitation to attract Muslim travelers. |
Brunei, a Southeast Asian country with a majority of Muslim population, is considered an important country, as Yasuaki Shimada, section chief of the International Tourism Division at Japan Tourism Agency, said during a briefing with foreign media in Tokyo recently.
It was a pleasure to hear from the Japan Embassy in Brunei. Halal In Japan received an email from the embassy staff requesting to create a link to the Halal In Japan website. They find the Halal In Japan website a source of information which can be beneficial to Bruneian travelers who visit Japan. We, in return, expressed our gratitude for the approach and the compliment.
We will try to keep up our standard and provide up-to-date information to be the unique source of halal information in Japan for tourists as well as the community as a whole.
Below you’ll find the link to the Halal In Japan website, which is provided on the Travel Page of the Japan Embassy in Brunei Website.

Kanagawa Prefectural Office's Request For A Survey |
October 11, 2015 |
Kanagawa Prefectural Office
|
Halal In Japan, which is based in Yokohama, received an informal request from the Kanagawa Prefectural Office to conduct a survey on the name recognition of towns and cities in the Kanagawa Prefecture.
Our understanding was that the Kanagawa Prefectural Office is planning for a future investment within the prefecture and they needed to know which names are well-known among foreigners in general. |
According to the instruction received from the office, we arranged for a simple survey consisting of 3 questions using the "Survey Monkey" platform for one week and shared it on our Facebook Page.
The survey results showed that foreigners who would like to visit or have visited Japan, or who are living in the country but not educated within the Japanese educational system, are not familiar with the official and geographical names. It seems the general public only knows the famous names. For example, few could recognize the difference between Kanagawa and Yokohama.
To me, as a foreigner living in Japan for almost three decades now, this finding was not unexpected. As you can see on the Halals Page of this website, three famous city names are mentioned in front of their respective prefecture name. According to my experience those prefecture names are not known to foreigners.
People who travel in Japan do not visit travel agencies to take a course in "geographical divisions of the country". People travel to famous and beautiful places to rest, relax, and refresh. The name can be a prefecture like Hokkaido, a city like Kobe, or an Island like Izu Oshima.
