Mosques

Ōita, the capital city of Ōita Prefecture on Kyushu Island, offers a modest but accessible network of prayer places for Muslims living in or visiting the area. Based on available mapped records, there are two listed mosques within a 50 km radius of central Ōita. These facilities serve as key points for daily prayers, Jumu'ah, and community connection, though the city itself does not currently have a mosque within its immediate boundaries. The nearest prayer place is located in the neighboring city of Beppu, approximately 11 km away, making it a practical option for Ōita residents.

The first listed mosque, Beppu Masjid, is situated at 10-19 Wakakusacho in Beppu, a well-known hot spring resort city just east of Ōita. This mosque provides a dedicated space for Muslims in the Beppu area and is easily reachable from Ōita via local roads or public transport. The second mosque, Nakatsu Masjid (also known as 中津モスク), is located in Nakatsu city, about 50 km north of Ōita, at 1252-5 Inumaru. Nakatsu is a historic city near the border with Fukuoka Prefecture, and its mosque serves the Muslim community in that region. While these two mosques are the only listed prayer places in the wider Ōita area, they represent important hubs for Islamic practice and community life.

For Muslims in Ōita, the current mapped data shows that prayer-place coverage is concentrated in the neighboring cities of Beppu and Nakatsu, rather than within Ōita itself. This means that residents and visitors may need to travel to these locations for congregational prayers or community events. The presence of Beppu Masjid in the Wakakusacho district and Nakatsu Masjid in the Inumaru area highlights the implantation of Islamic facilities in these specific sectors. As the Muslim population in Ōita grows, the demand for local prayer spaces may increase, but for now, these two mosques provide essential services for the region. Travelers and new arrivals are encouraged to verify opening hours and contact details directly with the mosques.

Both mosques are listed with addresses and city names. Beppu Masjid is 11.1 km from central Ōita, while Nakatsu Masjid is 49.6 km away. Check their exact locations and contact information before visiting. No phone numbers, websites, or specific services are provided in the available data.
