Hira Mosque (Japanese: 行徳モスク) is a mosque in Ichikawa, Chiba Prefecture, Japan.
History
In 1997, ICOJ established the mosque in Gyotoku, Ichikawa city of Chiba Prefecture by purchasing a two-storey building which was a bar earlier. During 2003–2004 the mosque building was reconstructed, looking at the need to increase the capacity as well as the poor condition of the building due to its age. The new Hira Mosque has been built, with a capacity of over 200 persons.[1]
