Quick answer
Tokyo has several mosques that welcome visitors, and prayer rooms in shopping centres and stations near the main sights. The largest mosque is Tokyo Camii, a short trip from Shibuya. Near Asakusa and Ueno there are smaller mosques, and Shibuya PARCO, Tokyo Midtown in Roppongi and Tokyo Station have prayer rooms you can use between sights.

Finding a place to pray is one of the first questions Muslim families ask us about Tokyo. The good news: you rarely need to go far. This guide lists the mosques that are easy for visitors to reach, the prayer rooms near the sights you are likely to visit, and how to plan your day around prayer times.
We keep two Google Maps lists with about 150 halal restaurants and mosques across Japan. Get the free lists and save them to your phone before you travel.

Friday prayer (Jumu’ah)
- Arrive early. Smaller mosques fill up quickly on Fridays, and some people pray in the corridors
- Women: not every small mosque has a women’s area. Tokyo Camii and Otsuka Mosque do
- Plan your Friday around it: for example, Tokyo Camii in the early afternoon, then Shibuya or Harajuku
Visiting a mosque: a few manners
- Dress modestly. Tokyo Camii asks men not to wear shorts, and women to wear long sleeves and a long skirt or loose trousers
- Take off your shoes before the prayer hall, and keep your voice low
- Phone photos are fine at Tokyo Camii, but do not photograph worshippers, and do not take photos during prayer
Prayer times and the qibla
- Prayer times: use a prayer-time app set to Tokyo. In autumn and winter the days are short, so Maghrib comes early, around 16:30 to 17:00 in December
- Qibla: in Tokyo, the qibla is to the west-northwest. Some hotels can lend a prayer mat or tell you the direction
