What Wikipedia says

The Kōbe Mosque (Japanese: 神戸モスク, romanized: Kōbe Mosuku), also known as the Kōbe Muslim Mosque (Japanese: 神戸ムスリムモスク, romanized: Kōbe Musurimu Mosuku, is a mosque located in Kōbe, in the Hyōgo Prefecture of Japan. Founded in October 1935, it is Japan's first mosque. Its construction was funded by donations collected by the Islamic Committee of Kōbe from 1928. The mosque was confiscated by the Imperial Japanese Navy in 1943, survived air raids in 1945, and withstood the Great Hanshin earthquake of 1995. It is located in the Kitano-cho foreign district of Kobe, one of the city's best-known tourist areas which features many old western style buildings.
