About Okayama Health Tourism
This project focuses on all-inclusive tourist locations and services across three areas in Okayama Prefecture: Okayama City, Kibichuo Town, and Maniwa City. The locations and services listed here welcome Muslim guests with unique Muslim-friendly guidelines and promote the health, well-being, and happiness of visitors to Okayama Prefecture.

About the “Peach Mark”
The Peach Mark is the Muslim-friendly mark used in certified restaurants, hotels, and retail shops in Okayama City, Kibichuo Town, and Maniwa City. This mark provides information on services and products that have features which are helpful for non-Japanese visitors such as English menus or ingredient lists, or if the restaurant offers dishes made without alcohol and pork.

We have chosen PEACH as the mark because it represents the Okayama specialty. The peach is also a popular image for the hero of Japanese folklore originating from Okayama Prefecture. This hero is called Peach Boy or “Momotaro”.
