“Open Mosque Day” in Tokyo Builds Bridges Between Muslims and Japanese Society
—————————————–
The Islamic Center of Japan has announced that the fifth edition of Open Mosque Day will take place on September 27 at Tokyo Camii Mosque.

According to The Japan Times, the event is designed to introduce Islamic culture to the Japanese public, featuring direct dialogue with Muslims, social activities, and a small halal food festival where visitors can enjoy diverse global flavors.

Organizers emphasize that initiatives like this transform mosques in Japan from being solely places of worship into platforms for cultural exchange and civilizational dialogue.

In addition to cultural programs, visitors will have the chance to explore the mosque’s interior and gain insight into Islamic architectural styles.

The annual event is seen as a valuable opportunity to foster peaceful coexistence and mutual respect in Japan’s multicultural society, while strengthening trust and understanding between Muslims and the broader Japanese community.
