Muslims in Shinjuku

Hi. I'm a Muslim student from Singapore and I'll be going for an exchange programme to Waseda University this Fall. I was just wondering, does anyone know whether there is a Muslim community in the area, or where I can purchase halal food etc? Thanks in advance!

Ida,
there're several halal food stores near JR Okubo station.
Fuji store, Halal Food store, NASCO and Rose Family Store in the following page are located in a close distance in Hyakunincho area.

This blog (though it's written in Japanese) has pictures of the stores.

Get a bike and you can easily go to Okubo! Hope you'll have a lot of fun in Waseda Uni.

Ogojo-san, arigatou gozaimasu! I really appreciate the links, and will be checking the places out when I get there. :)

I have a question though. How far away are the shops (roughly) from the Waseda campus itself? As in, is it possible for me to walk or do I have to take a bus/train?

Sorry for the trouble, and thank you!

Ida,
Your questions are anytime welcomed!

Waseda Uni itself is quite big and it depends on which department you go.
Roughly, these shops are located about 1 km from Engineering Department (of Waseda Uni) and 2.5-3 km from main campus.

How about getting a bike? Then, you can easily go to Shinjuku & Ikebukuro, too.

In this map, shops' address is pointed as "A" and 早稲田理工学部 is Engineering Department while 早稲田大 is main campus.

Ogojo-san, sorry for the late reply. And once again, ありがとうございます! The map is really helpful! I'm sure I'll be able to find the stores using it. (: Thank you for the links to the pictures as well. It'll make finding and spotting the stores so much easier!
