Tokyo’s neon, Kyoto’s temples, Osaka’s food, Hakone’s mountain onsen — and Hokkaido, the cool green island that’s quietly becoming the Gulf’s favourite summer escape. Each destination guide covers what’s genuinely worth your time, how many days to give it, where to stay by station (this matters more in Japan than anywhere), and the halal and prayer logistics for that specific city.

Area guides are being written now — the first ones land soon. Meanwhile, our 7-day itinerary covers the classic Tokyo–Hakone–Kyoto–Osaka route in full detail.
