Muslim travelers visiting Japan
The scale of the travel
market for Muslims was 151 billion dollars in 2015,
accounting for 11.2% of the world market, and it is forecast
to expand to 243 billion dollars in 2021. The number of
international travelers visiting Japan in 2017 was about
440,000 from Malaysia, 12% up year over year, and about
350,000 from Indonesia, 30% up year over year. This shows
that an increasing number of Muslim people in some countries
in Asia are more likely to travel to Japan, raising the
needs of welcoming Muslims in accordance with their religion
in Japan.*2

With the release of the Muslim Friendly Japan Special Offer Guide, JCB aims to enable Muslim people to have their JCB Card enjoy their stay in Japan more.
