Malaysia's largest and most fascinating "Blue Mosque"

Apparently, the Blue Mosque (official name: Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Mosque) is listed in guidebooks for Japanese people, and I heard that about 80% of the visitors are Japanese.

When I actually went there, 80% of the tour group were Japanese.

It's definitely worth going.

It is the largest mosque in Malaysia and the fourth largest in the world.

It's far from the center and difficult to get to, so I recommend using Grab or similar.

1. When you arrive, a Japanese-speaking staff member will immediately ask, "Are you Japanese?"

2. Women will be guided to wear a hijab or other covering. Once you're ready, head on the tour.

(By the way, participation in the tour is mandatory, and you will be scolded if you stray from the group lol)

3. They will explain each spot in order.
*There were people from other countries there at the time, so the explanation was in English, but if it was only Japanese people, it might have been in Japanese.

It takes about 25-30 minutes, and once you've gone around a certain amount, it's over.

*You can ask the staff to take photos for you.

*Admission and tour participation are free.

I think it will be a good cultural experience.
