Verify Halal Certification

Muslim travelers should choose products with clear halal certification marks. Don’t hesitate to ask ANA FESTA Halal Corner staff if you have any questions.

 

Consider Packaging and Portability

Many Japanese souvenirs are individually wrapped, making them easy to distribute and carry, but consider baggage allowance when purchasing large or heavy items.
