The largest mosque in Japan.
As we wrote in this article, Tokyo Camii is the largest mosque in Japan. This beautiful mosque was built by Turkish government, which is the reason why the mosque is built in a traditional Turkish style. The mosque is not only attracting Muslims but also local Japanese people.
The mosque is a must-visit for all the Muslims traveling to Japan, but it is not only limited to your salat. That is because there is a Halal shop in the mosque and they have Halal Japanese souvenirs! Let’s see what is available for tourists today.

Their pie-like snack is so crispy and yummy! We can get this souvenir at other places, but it is always a great idea to buy one when you find one.
Baum Kuchen “Fujisan Kue Lapis”
Kue Lapis, which means layers cake in Indonesian, is a Halal-certified cake.
Japanese people love German cake called Baum Kuchen, which is almost the same concept as Kue Lapis. The biggest difference between German and Indonesian is the usage of spice.
With rich aroma of cardamon and cinnamon, this cake is enjoyed on a special occasion. As the package is simple but elegant Mt. Fuji design, it is a great souvenir option for many Muslims.
