[Tokyo/Yoyogi-Uehara] Cross-Cultural Exchange at Tokyo Camii

Tokyo Camii, located near Yoyogi-Uehara Station, is one of Japan's largest Islamic mosques, renowned for its magnificent architecture and warm atmosphere as a place for cross-cultural exchange.

The first thing that overwhelms visitors is the splendid architecture incorporating Turkish style 🇹🇷
The tall dome, beautiful minarets, colorful and delicate geometric patterns and Arabic calligraphy painted on the walls and ceiling, and stained glass windows.
While enveloped in an exotic atmosphere that feels like being overseas, the artistry conveyed through the intricate designs takes your breath away.
Admission is free, and you can enjoy it just by touring.

Additionally, Tokyo Camii serves as a hub for understanding Islamic culture and international exchange in Japan.
There are plenty of opportunities to feel close to Islam and interact with people of diverse nationalities through guided tours, prayer observations, events during Ramadan, and food culture experiences (selling traditional Turkish sweets and halal food, with a café attached).
The staff and worshippers are very kind and answer questions politely in Japanese, so even first-timers can feel at ease♡

Of course, the dignified tranquility as a religious facility and the open, warm atmosphere are unique to Tokyo Camii.
It is a place where simply visiting offers new discoveries and learning by calming your mind and experiencing different cultures and values.
