[Kobe] Experience a different culture at Japan's oldest mosque!

Kobe, Hyogo
Kobe Muslim Mosque🕌

Located on Nakayamate-dori in Kobe, Kobe Muslim Mosque is Japan's oldest mosque.

A mosque is a Muslim temple.
The Kobe Muslim Mosque was built in 1935 with funding from Turkish, Tatar, and Indian traders living in Kobe.

It is Japan's first mosque.

It features an Indo-Turkish-style dome and four minarets.

The interior is a beautiful space adorned with luxurious chandeliers, carpets, and stained glass. ✨

The mosque's library is stocked with books on Islam, and non-Muslims are welcome to visit.
As long as you avoid prayer times and dress appropriately, it's a place where anyone can experience a different culture. 🌏

We were given dates as parting gifts!
Dates are the fruit of the date palm, a sweet dried fruit beloved in Islamic culture.

Experience Kobe's exotic atmosphere, culture, and history. 🕌
