The experience
A private journey, thoughtfully paced
Discover a side of Japan few Muslim travelers get to see: the Edo-period streets of Kawagoe and the river valleys of Chichibu, on a private guided day tour built around your prayer schedule. Your guide picks you up from your Tokyo hotel in the morning and drives to Kawagoe, nicknamed "Little Edo" for its preserved merchant warehouses (kurazukuri) and the iconic Toki no Kane bell tower. Walk the historic streets with your guide, then visit Hikawa Shrine and its tunnel of torii gates. For lunch, enjoy halal sushi at Kawagoe Kousushi, a local restaurant that has offered a Muslim-friendly menu with halal-certified chicken and beef since 2018 – your guide handles the group reservation ahead of time. The itinerary includes a Dhuhr prayer stop nearby, with a prayer mat and qibla compass provided. In the afternoon, drive to Chichibu for a guided stop at Muen-ji temple, then a scenic riverside walk through the Nagatoro valley, with an Asr prayer stop before the drive back to Tokyo (arrival around 6:30pm). This is a fully private tour for 1 to 6 people, guided in English, Urdu or Hindi, with prayer-time logistics built into the schedule from the start – not just a halal meal option.
What you pay is what you pay
The price you see is the full price for your whole group. The private van, fuel, tolls, parking and your guide for the whole day are all included. Your halal lunch and any temple or shrine entry fees are paid on the day at each place. There are no per-person supplements, no booking fees and nothing extra to pay your guide on the day.
Flexible day
This is your private tour, so the day is flexible. If you want to skip a stop, stay longer somewhere or add a place nearby, write it in the booking notes or tell your driver-guide on the day and we will adjust the route where time allows.
