Performing Salah (صلاة) five times a day is central to a Muslim's life. While traveling in Japan, finding a place to pray can seem challenging, but it's easier than you think with a little preparation.

#### Masjids and Musallas (مسجد و مصلى)
Major cities have dedicated Masjids (mosques), such as the Tokyo Camii or the Kobe Masjid. These are wonderful community hubs. In addition, many smaller prayer rooms, or Musallas, are available.

#### Airports and Train Stations
Most major international airports in Japan (Narita, Haneda, Kansai) have quiet, well-equipped prayer rooms with wudu facilities. Some major train stations, like Tokyo Station, are also starting to add these facilities.

#### Shopping Malls and Department Stores
To cater to Muslim tourists, large department stores (like Takashimaya) and shopping malls in tourist areas have started setting up prayer rooms. Check their information desks upon arrival.

#### Use Technology
Apps like Japan Masjid Finder and the Japandehalal website are your best friends. They use your location to show you the nearest prayer spaces, including the direction of the Qibla (قبلة).

With these resources, you can explore Japan with peace of mind, knowing you can fulfill your religious duties. May your prayers be accepted.
