Japan will begin a model project during the current fiscal year to help regional communities attract more foreign visitors with diverse dietary and cultural habits, such as vegetarians and Muslims.

With the number of foreign visitors to Japan increasing, the country needs to create a more accommodating environment for vegetarians and Muslims.
