Prayer times in Japan

Japan has a small Muslim community estimated at approximately 0.18 percent of the population, numbering roughly 230,000 people. The community is composed primarily of recent migrants and naturalized citizens from Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iran, Turkey, Egypt, Malaysia, the former Soviet Central Asian states, and Nigeria, alongside an estimated 50,000 Japanese converts. The community is concentrated in the Tokyo, Osaka, Aichi, and Saitama metropolitan areas. The Tokyo Camii in Yoyogi-Uehara, originally built in 1938 by the Russian-emigrant Tatar community and rebuilt in 2000 with Turkish state funding, is the largest and architecturally most prominent mosque in Japan; the Kobe Mosque, opened in 1935, is the oldest mosque in Japan and was one of the few buildings in central Kobe to survive both wartime bombing and the 1995 earthquake. The Japan Muslim Association (Nihon Muslim Kyōkai), founded in 1953, is the principal national body alongside more recent organizations including the Islamic Center of Japan. eSalah uses the Muslim World League default for Japan; Karachi and Kemenag-Indonesia methods are alternates given community composition.
