Mosques

Fukuoka, the largest city on Kyushu island, offers a modest but growing network of prayer places for Muslims. Based on available mapped records, there are four listed mosques within a 50 km radius of the city center. The most centrally located is Fukuoka Masjid Al Nour Islamic Culture Center, situated at 3 Chome-2-18 Hakozaki in the Higashi Ward, approximately 2.4 km from central Fukuoka. This mosque serves as a key hub for the local Muslim community, providing a dedicated space for daily prayers and Islamic activities.

Beyond the city core, additional prayer places are found in surrounding areas. Itoshima Masjid is located in the coastal town of Itoshima, about 21.7 km away, at 728-1 Shimamoroyoshi. Further afield, the Saga Islamic Center in Saga city (41.6 km) and Asakura Mosque Tokikawa in Asakura (46.6 km) extend the network into neighboring prefectures. These mosques indicate that Muslim life is present not only in Fukuoka proper but also in the broader region, with prayer facilities established in Higashi Ward, Itoshima, Saga, and Asakura.

For Muslims living in or visiting Fukuoka, the current mapped data shows that prayer places are concentrated in the eastern part of the city (Higashi Ward) and spread to nearby towns. While the number of listed mosques is limited, their distribution across different districts and cities provides options for residents and travelers. New arrivals, students, and workers can find reliable places for prayer by checking the addresses and distances of these listed mosques. As the community grows, the network may expand, but for now, these four locations represent the primary mapped prayer spaces in the Fukuoka area.

When visiting any of these mosques, verify the address and distance from your location beforehand. Contact details may be available online or through local Islamic centers. Prayer times may vary, so check locally. Note that some mosques may have limited facilities; it is advisable to confirm opening hours and accessibility directly with the mosque management.
