My trip to Japan was transformative put simply. We explored many parts of Japan all while enjoying the best Halal Food and visiting Masjids like Japan Dawah Centre which had Tatami flooring like in a traditional Japanese home. The trip was seamlessly planned and I was able to incorporate my own personal places and things I wanted to do which was welcomed by Sharky Sensei!! Speaking of which - if he wasn't with us helping translating the harder situations I and many others would be lost
I would most definitely recommend others to come to Japan with Sakura Salam, they have been an excellent and reliable way to make the most of Japan in the most Halal way possible. Even in situations where things haven't gone according to plan or unexpected delays have occurred out of our hands, they have almost instantly found a work around to ensure the quality of the trip isn't affected and provided alternate measures, Alhamdulilah.
Thanks to Sharky Sensei's expertise and support, I became more at ease with my surroundings and comfortable roaming around. I enjoyed Osaka as the people there were more lively, warm, and accepting of foreigners than in Tokyo. If not for Sharky Sensei and Sakura Salam, I would have been lost and missed out on the beautiful things Japan offers. Without them, I wouldn't have gone to Japan at all!
Sakura Salam offers a seamless and enriching cultural exchange, providing an excellent opportunity to explore Japan in a Muslim friendly manner. Travelling with Sakura Salam allowed me to not only see the beautiful sites Japan has to offer, but also meet and interact with the Muslims of Japan. If you want a hassle free, memorable & authentic Japanese experience, choose Sakura Salam!
The level of guidance, coordination and planning is worth well beyond its price. In fact, the greatest benefit of touring with Sakura Salam is being able to visit multiple places without wasting time/getting lost etc.
Would highly recommend them for anyone visiting Japan for the first time.
My experience included all expectations being met and more Alhamdulillah whether it was halal food everyday, karting in the streets if Tokyo visiting masjids, seeing Fuji-san (Mt. Fuji) and more. I would say that anyone wanting to go to Japan but isn't sure how to go about it effectively, as a Muslim should consider a tour with Sakura Salam. Even on the note of it being a tour there is plenty of free time to be had to do your own exploring, shopping and interacting with the society of Japan (safely and with reassurance). May Allah accept it from them.
