In fiscal year 2024, Japan will launch a model project to make its regional communities more welcoming to foreign visitors with specific dietary and cultural requirements. This initiative aims to address the growing diversity of Japan’s tourist demographic and provide a more comfortable and inclusive environment for international visitors. The project will focus on creating pictograms to clearly display food ingredients, developing specialized menus, and establishing prayer spaces for Muslim visitors. It will also support the creation of sightseeing programs that cater to the diverse needs of international travelers.
