Tokyo Mosques and Prayer Rooms 2026: Camii, Okachimachi, Airports

Tokyo has workable mosque and prayer-room coverage for Muslim travelers — if you know which address matches which search. The query 御徒町 モスク (Okachimachi mosque) usually means As-Salaam near the Ueno / Okachimachi corridor, not Tokyo Camii. Camii is Japan’s landmark Ottoman-style mosque in Oyamacho / Yoyogi-Uehara.

Tokyo Camii (Yoyogi-Uehara)

Tokyo Camii & Diyanet Turkish Culture Center is Japan’s largest mosque — onion domes, open for Muslim prayer (sightseeing-only visits may have separate visitor rules; check the official site).

• Area: Oyamacho, Shibuya-ku
• Station: Yoyogi-Uehara (Odakyu / Tokyo Metro Chiyoda) — about a 5-minute walk
• Official: tokyocamii.org

Not near Okachimachi. If Maps sent you to Ueno because you searched “Tokyo mosque,” double-check the pin before you ride the Ginza Line the wrong way.

Dress modestly; remove shoes where marked; follow staff guidance for women’s and men’s areas.

Okachimachi / Ueno: As-Salaam and Nearby

Searchers for 御徒町 モスク are usually looking for the As-Salaam community mosque serving the Okachimachi–Ueno–Akihabara belt — close to hotels, electronics shopping, and Ameyoko food streets.

Practical notes

• Hours and Friday prayer capacity change — call or check recent listings the morning of.
• Do not treat blog addresses from years ago as gospel; communities sometimes relocate within a few blocks.
• Pair with Halal Gourmet Japan / Halal Navi for nearby certified or Muslim-friendly meals.

Also in the wider east-Tokyo belt: Akihabara-area masjid spaces and Asakusa Mosque for temple-district days. Always verify before Jumu’ah.

Other Tokyo Mosques Worth Knowing

This is a logistics map, not a complete directory. Japan’s Muslim communities are active and lists go stale — prefer official sites and Halal Navi over screenshots.

Airport and City Prayer Rooms

Airports (official)

City rooms (ask the desk)

Examples travelers report: Shibuya PARCO, Matsuya Ginza, Azabudai Hills, Tokyo Midtown, Tokyo Skytree Town / Solamachi, JR East Travel Service Center (Marunouchi — often staff-unlocked), Asakusa tourist facilities. Many are unmarked from the street.

Bring a compact prayer mat — small rooms do not always provide one.

---

Etiquette Snapshot

• Confirm whether non-Muslims may enter for sightseeing; prayer access for Muslims is the primary purpose.
• Keep voices low; no photography inside prayer halls unless staff allow.
• Friday midday is the busiest — arrive early or choose a quieter time.
• Alcohol-heavy nightlife districts (Golden Gai, etc.) are optional — you can skip them entirely. Broader trip etiquette: Japan etiquette.

FAQ

Where is the main mosque in Tokyo?
Tokyo Camii, near Yoyogi-Uehara — tokyocamii.org.

Is there a mosque in Okachimachi?
Yes in the practical sense: As-Salaam serves that corridor. Confirm the current pin and hours; it is not Tokyo Camii.

Do I need to book Tokyo Camii?
Usually not for routine prayer — but check the official site for visitor tours, events, and Friday capacity.

Are airport prayer rooms free?
Yes as airport facilities. Follow security and terminal rules; some are airside only after immigration/security.

Where should I eat after prayer?
Use app filters the same day — strategy in the Halal Japan guide. Corridors near Camii, Asakusa, and Shin-Okubo are denser than random neighborhoods.
