Halal Food in Yokohama 2026: A Prayer Room in Minato Mirai and Where to Eat in Kanagawa
Quick Answer: Yokohama is a workable halal day trip, made easier than much of Tokyo by a prayer room on the 6th floor of Yokohama World Porters in Minato Mirai, rated 4.8 across 78 Google reviews and already on the standard waterfront route. For food, Khazana in the Queen's Square complex at Minato Mirai holds halal certification, while NAKSHATRA in Naka Ward (4.2, 433 reviews) and ASIAN DINING ALIBABA in Tsuzuki Ward (4.1, 216 reviews, Muslim owner-operated) are listed with halal meat. YOKOHAMA SERYNA ROMANJAYA in Kannai (4.3, 398 reviews) is listed with halal meat if you want Japanese food rather than curry. In Kamakura, options are thin and none are certified; ask about broth and seasoning. Halal grocery shops — AGM Trading, Spice House, and Chand Food — are also listed in Kanagawa.
Yokohama is thirty minutes from Tokyo and most visitors treat it as a half-day trip — Minato Mirai, the waterfront, Chinatown. That framing hides the useful fact: there is a prayer room inside one of the main Minato Mirai malls, which makes Yokohama easier to fit into a schedule than much of Tokyo.
This guide covers Yokohama city and the parts of Kanagawa most visitors actually reach — Kamakura, Kawasaki, and the coast.
Prayer in Minato Mirai and Around Yokohama
Yokohama World Porters has a prayer room on the 6th floor, rating 4.8 across 78 Google reviews. World Porters sits in Shinko, in the middle of the Minato Mirai waterfront — walking distance from the Cup Noodles Museum, the Red Brick Warehouse and the harbour. If you are doing the standard Yokohama day, this is on your route rather than off it.
That score matters. A 4.8 on a mall prayer room usually means it is properly maintained rather than a room someone unlocks on request.
Yokohama Masjid is in Hayabuchi, Tsuzuki Ward, in the north of the city. It is away from the tourist core, so treat it as a destination rather than a stop.
Den-en-Toshi Islamic Culture Center in Nagatsuta, Midori Ward, serves the western side of the city along the Den-en-toshi line.
Further out in Kanagawa there are mosques at Ebina, Hadano (Tokai Masjid), and Sagamihara (Muhammadi Masjid, rating 4.4 across 45 reviews, with parking). There are musallas at Shonandai and on the Keio SFC campus in Fujisawa.
Halal Indian Food: The Backbone
Yokohama's halal map is mostly Indian and South Asian, and the quality is high.
NAKSHATRA South & North Indian Restaurant in Naka Ward rates 4.2 across 433 reviews and is listed with halal meat, pork-free and vegetarian options.
Khazana in Minato Mirai holds halal certification in our records and sits inside the Queen's Square complex — convenient if you are already at the waterfront. It rates 3.7 across 378 reviews.
ASIAN DINING ALIBABA in Tsuzuki Ward is Muslim owner-operated with halal meat and pork-free items, rating 4.1 across 216 reviews. New Ali Baba in Kannai is from the same family of restaurants.
Indian Mantra at the Sky Building by Yokohama station, DELHI Dining in Kannai, Shaghun and Na-ga-raja round out the list — all listed with halal meat.
In Kawasaki, Punjabi Dhaba rates 4.3 across 614 reviews, the most reviewed halal-listed venue in this guide.
Japanese Food and the Waterfront
YOKOHAMA SERYNA ROMANJAYA in Kannai rates 4.3 across 398 reviews and is listed with halal meat and pork-free items — a Japanese restaurant rather than a curry house, which is the harder thing to find.
Port Terrace Café on the 3rd floor of JICA Yokohama in Shinko rates 3.9 across 362 reviews, listed with halal meat, no alcohol and vegetarian options. JICA canteens exist because of the international staff and trainees who use them, which is why they turn up in halal guides — but they keep institutional hours, so check before making the trip.
Minokichi at Yokohama Landmark Plaza is listed as Muslim-friendly. Landmark Plaza is the tower complex at the centre of Minato Mirai, so this is the most convenient Japanese option if you are sightseeing.
Kamakura: The Day Trip
Kamakura is the standard companion to Yokohama — the Great Buddha, the temples, the coast — and it is thinner for halal food than the city. Two things are worth knowing.
Kantakun in Yuigahama serves vegetable curry and rates 4.3 across 330 reviews. A vegetable curry house solves the problem by construction rather than by certification, which in a temple town is often the practical answer.
Kamakura Cafeteria and kamakurawasouzai Kondou both appear on Kanagawa halal listings with halal meat and pork-free items.
Neither is certified. Ask about the broth and seasoning — Kamakura's specialities lean on dashi.

The Coast: Odawara
Kaishu at Hayakawa Gyoson in Odawara is a seafood rice-bowl restaurant at the fishing harbour, listed as pork-free and with a prayer room. It rates 3.7 across 98 reviews.
Odawara is on the way to Hakone, which is one of the harder places in Japan for Muslim travelers. A pork-free seafood restaurant with a prayer room, on that route, is worth noting before you go up the mountain.
Halal Groceries in Kanagawa
Three halal food shops appear on Kanagawa listings: AGM Trading, Spice House and Chand Food. If you are self-catering or want to take ingredients home, these are the addresses to look up in the app.

Kamakura Cafeteria and kamakurawasouzai Kondou appear on Kanagawa halal listings. None are certified, so ask about the broth, as Kamakura's cooking leans on dashi.
