Beginning from January 13, 2015, Hotel Nikko Nara has started a service such as providing of prayer space/menu without pork or alcoholic beverages/free rental of various equipment/etc. to further strengthen the convenience of Muslim customers.
The number of foreign tourists visiting Kansai area have increased thanks to the weaker yen (starting from last year) and the effect of USJ. Because of such trend, the number of foreign tourists staying at Hotel Nikko Nara have also increased by 190% when compared to the previous year. (Data based on January to December of 2014) Among such tourists, since we are experiencing a significant increase in the number of tourists coming from Islamic countries such as Indonesia and Malaysia, we have decided to offer this service.
