Opportunity to open a mosque

Fukuoka (The largest city in Kyushu region, located on the northern shore of the island of Kyushu region.) is the gateway to Asia and with the relaxation of visa, visitors from Malasia and Indonesia increased after 2013. Also, with the increase of international students, there were many consultations regarding the lack of the prayer space. Since there was no prayer space in Tenjin, Fukuoka's central district, it was established at Kokusai Hiroba.

Staff

Most of them are Japanese. The City sometimes sends staff who are from Thailand and England several times a month.

Customer base

Most of them are foreign students, technical intern trainees, those who come to Japanese language classes, and those who come to free consultation sessions for foreigners. There are only few Kyushu University students, but since it is a place where anyone can come, they do not check the users.
