Update 13 Nov 2026: Shiroi Koibito Park's official page says its worship room is divided for men and women with a wudu washing facility, so its row (previously "not stated") is corrected and the count is now six places.

Checked 10 Nov 2026 on the official pages of Tokyo Camii, Masjid As-Salaam, Visit Chiyoda (Tokyo Station), DECKS Tokyo Beach, Osaka Station City, Namba CITY, LaLaport EXPOCITY, Kyoto Travel, the Kyoto Muslim Association, OAGARI, Sapporo Masjid, Sapporo Factory, Welcome HOKKAIDO, Crossroad Fukuoka, Fukuoka Masjid, and Narita, Haneda, New Chitose and Fukuoka airports. KIX's page would not open on 10 Nov (blocked), so the KIX details are from the 18 Oct 2026 check. This tells you in which cities and airports the women in your family can pray in a room of their own, by what the official pages say, and what to do where they say nothing. Where a page doesn't say "women" or "separate", the table says "not stated"; this article doesn't guess.

Short answer. Only six places in this check say on their official page that women have their own space or that rooms are separated by gender. Tokyo: Tokyo Camii (Yoyogi-Uehara), a women-only upper floor of the prayer hall, daily 10:00–18:00. Osaka: LaLaport EXPOCITY (2F, Orange side), a men's room and a women's room, each with purification facilities; and KIX Terminal 1, prayer rooms and wudu spaces separated by gender, open 24 hours (checked 18 Oct 2026). Sapporo: New Chitose Airport, International Terminal 2F, rooms separated by gender with small purification facilities; Sapporo Masjid, a women's prayer room on 4F for Friday prayers; and Shiroi Koibito Park, Tudor House 2F, a worship room divided for men and women with a wudu washing facility, 10:00–18:00 (checked 13 Nov 2026). Kyoto: the Kyoto mosque has separate wudu places for men and women, but only "limited" space for sisters at Jumu'ah. Fukuoka: no official page checked mentions a women's space. Narita, Haneda, Tokyo Station and Osaka Station don't state one either. There, the family takes turns. Checked 10 Nov 2026.

For a family. If the women in your group want a room of their own, plan Zuhur and Asr around these: Tokyo Camii on a Shibuya or Harajuku day, EXPOCITY on an Expo Park day, and the KIX or New Chitose rooms on arrival and departure days. If an EXPOCITY day anchors the trip, stay in Osaka: Osaka hotels for 2 adults + 2 kids on Trip.com (prices depend on your dates).

Kyoto Station is not on Kyoto Travel's list of prayer spaces. The two official pages about the Kyoto mosque differ on Friday; if the women in your group want to pray Jumu'ah there, call the mosque first (+81-75-231-3499, the number on Kyoto Travel). A day planned around prayer times: one day in Kyoto.

Sapporo

Sapporo Masjid has no car park of its own. Shiroi Koibito Park's page doesn't say whether you need an admission ticket to use the worship room; ask staff when you arrive. Hokkaido in winter with prayer times and food: Hokkaido winter for Muslim families.

For a family. At Narita and Haneda the official pages don't mention a women's room; Haneda T2 and T3 have 2 rooms at each spot but don't say who each is for. If you fly into Osaka or Sapporo, KIX T1 and New Chitose are the two airports in this check that say the rooms are separate. Getting from New Chitose into the city: New Chitose → Sapporo train ticket on Klook (check the RM price for your dates). Your terminal by airline, and the rooms in each: airport prayer rooms in Japan.

4. Where the page says nothing about women

  1. Ask at the counter. Osaka Station, Namba CITY and EXPOCITY send you to the information counter first. At Tokyo Station, press the intercom. At New Chitose the page doesn't say which side of security the rooms are on; ask at information.
  2. Take turns. Tokyo Station has one room for about 2 people. Osaka Station allows 20 minutes per use. Decide who prays first before you arrive.
  3. Bring your own telekung. Tokyo Camii lends scarves and abayas; no other page in this check mentions lending prayer garments. The Yumeyakata rooms provide a prayer mat.
  4. Pick a hotel that shows the qibla. For Subuh and Isha, your hotel room is the family's own space: Tokyo hotels with qibla and prayer rooms · Kyoto · Sapporo.

5. What the official pages don't say

  1. Airport prayer room hours. Narita, Haneda, New Chitose and Fukuoka give no opening hours for their prayer rooms. Only KIX says 24 hours.
  2. Wudu at Tokyo Camii. Tokyo Camii's visit page doesn't mention a wudu area.
  3. Which side of security at New Chitose. The page only says International Terminal 2F.
  4. Room hours at EXPOCITY and DECKS. Neither page gives prayer room hours.
  5. Fukuoka. None of the official pages checked for Fukuoka mentions a women's space.
  6. A ticket for the Shiroi Koibito Park worship room. The page doesn't say whether an admission ticket is needed.

When an official page changes, this article is updated.
