Testimonials


Travelling to Japan has always been on my bucket list, but as a Muslim, there were a few concerns. 😩 Will I be comfortable with the environment there? Are there enough halal food options? How will I get the most out of my experience without knowing the language? Alhamdulillah none of those were a real concern travelling with Sharky Sensei! 
- Taha

My reasons for visiting Japan so frequently stems from my general interest in the country and my fondness for it's culture and it's people who display behaviours that I would associate with Muslims such as their kindness and politeness, maintaining cleanliness and discipline. Also, Japan is a very photogenic country and I enjoy doing photography when I am there.
- Faaris

I was surprised to see Japan catering to the Muslim community cementing my love for the culture and people. What more can you ask for beautiful scenes with delicious food without compromise.
- Abdul Raheem

My experience in Japan was wonderful and I had one of my favourite holidays ever. From visiting the iconic Mt Fuji to go karting in the streets of tokyo the activities to do were endless. Even touring the city to find halal spots and seeing other brothers and sisters there from everywhere on the planet was a wonderful experience.
