KOFU -- Places for prayer have been set up in Fuji-Kawaguchiko, Yamanashi Prefecture, amid an increase in the number of Muslims visiting Mt. Fuji.
In addition to such places, which include a full-fledged prayer facility, a gourmet guide has been created to help visitors find Muslim-friendly eateries.
In late April, foreign tourists were seen entering a 10-meter-square prefabricated hut located behind local eatery Momoya in order to offer prayers.
