This paper focuses on the Muslim society in Japan, and aims to clarify how the everyday lives of Muslims interacts with the activities of masjid (Mosque), and how masjids as a religious space change with the expansion of the Muslim, society in Japan. The case study object was “Masjid Otsuka”, which is in the Toshimaward of Tokyo.

Various activities of masjid are developed by a flexible management system. 2) Analyzing the daily life of Muslims and the relationship of masjid, labor carries a significant weight in a Muslim’s daily life, and those Muslims who live in suburban areas have difficulty visiting the masjid. Thus, Muslims in Japan put weight on the existence of masjid by comparing worship behavior at workplaceor home, and masjid. Worship behavior in appropriate environment is the primary purpose to visit masjid. 3) As an ancillary role to visit masjid, there are communication and exchanging information, or religious education to children. According to the residence and the socio-economic situation, Muslims can be categorized as “Neighborhood residential type”, “Single living and simple labor type”, “Family residential and professional working type”, “Participation type”. Muslims have various needs for masjids due to their different socio-economic situations, and masjid develops its activities responding to their needs. As a result, Masjid Otsuka became a facility for Muslims to relate to their faith subjectively, and embrace a lot of Muslims from various regions.
