    Alhamdulillah had a chance to visit this mosque, during our trip to Kobe. Friendly moslem brother and sister. Beautiful design inside and outside, it has old historical ambience. I think this is one of the oldest mosque in Japan. Theres few halal eateries and shop nearby.

    As the first mosque in Japan, it is a very unique and historically rich site. It is also significantly larger on the outside than one might expect. It is located close to Sanomiya station, just a quick walk from Ikuta station. However, the inside is rather small and unremarkable, so if you’re just here to look, a quick glimpse from outside is probably enough.

    Kobe Mosque (神戸モスク Kōbe Mosque), also known as Kobe Muslim Mosque (神戸ムスリムモスク Kōbe Muslim Mosque), was founded in October, 1935 in Kobe and is Japan's first mosque.[1] Its construction was funded by donations collected by the Islamic Committee of Kobe from 1928 until its opening in 1935.[2] The mosque was confiscated by the Imperial Japanese Navy in 1943. However, it continues to function as mosque today. It is located in the Kitano-choforeign district of Kobe. Owing to its basement and structure, the mosque survived the air raids that laid waste to most of Kobe's urban districts in 1945 and was able to endure through the Great Hanshin earthquake in 1995. The mosque is located in one of Kobe's best-known tourist areas, which features many old western style buildings.

    The mosque is spacious and clean. It has different prayer areas for men and women (second floor). The ablution area is also large with an appropriate shoe rack nearby. Near the mosque, we will easily find many choices of halal shops.

    Been here for Friday / Jumat Prayer in winter. Better to come earlier to get the place inside. The masjid provide warm water for ablution, heater on every corner, room to place baggage, and fluffy carpet. Women can also join the prayer in the second floor. The sermon was in English generally and sometimes Japanese and Arabic. Overall it was a great experience to have prayed here.

    It is very comfortable and peacefull to pray here, despites it is under renovation process. Unfortunately, no pictures are allowed to be taken once you are inside the mosque. Thats what make it different with Tokyo's Cami Mosque. Still, expect a crowd in Friday prayer time. Next to this mosque, there are some halal shops and restaurants.

    Beautiful mosque with a nice community. A lot of people from other religions and beliefs come to visit this place to learn about Islam and its history. Loved the approach from the people in charge of this mosque to share the muslim way of life. I wish other mosques would have this type of open visitor section for people who are interested in learning about Islam and its culture in a way that doesn't make them feel pressured in accepting something...

    As part of Islamic history in Japan, the mosque is in a good condition, clean and there are some heaters at the prayer hall. Quite lively place with some activities for local Muslims.

    We brought by our Professor from Osaka Unversity to have a great mosque tour lead by one of the Imam. There is increasing number of muslim and non-muslim visitor. It's amazing story shared by the imam that this mosque manage to survived the WW1 bombing and earthquake event previously. Kobe mosque is one of the oldest mosque in Japan despite now being 2nd biggest Mosque in Japan. The architecture and interior of the mosque still maintain from the tine when they 1st build the mosque. There is different floor assign for both male and female. For Friday prayer, the male will be praying in the main space, basement floor and top floor sometimes until outside if not raining except the road. Moreover, There been an increasing number of people praying in the mosque in recent year. Nonetheless, the imam reminded that it's not amount the quantity of people going to the mosque but more of the quality of people performing their obligation as a muslim persons Apart from that, they is a lot of halal restaurants and shop nearby. However, if you planning to go on friday, after Friday prayer it will be packed of people. So, I strongly recommend going before friday prayer or other time not peak hrs. It a muslim friendly community area!!

    Went there on a friday to pray jumat. But was a bit confused with the schedule, because the prayer started much later than the zuhr time (based on salah time app). They say it was to wait for more worshippers to come
