Japan offers easy-to-install prayer room for Muslims
—————————–
A company in Soja, Okayama Prefecture, has developed a compact, easy-to-install prayer room designed to aid tourist sites and businesses accommodate Muslim visitors, Dawn E-Newspaper reported.

The product, called “Prayer Space,” was developed by a staff member of OM Kiki Co., which produces welfare and other equipment.

The company started selling the new product in December. The wooden structure has a height of 180 centimeters, and the floor is 150 centimeters squared.

The qibla marker on the ceiling can be rotated to show the direction of Makkah.

According to the developer, the availability of a prayer space can be a very important factor in choosing a travel destination.

They hope to increase the number of places where people can perform their religious rituals freely, making it easier for them to travel and creating a more work-friendly environment in local areas.
