Accounts on social media circulated false claims suggesting that Japan has enacted laws against Islam, involving bans on halal food, the construction of mosques, the call to prayer (adhan), and the wearing of the niqab. However, investigations confirmed that there are no official legislation in Japan that impose such restrictions, and that some local stances or opposition campaigns do not represent government decisions. Additionally, the attached video, which is claimed to show the enactment of new laws, is old and dates back to 2020; it is not related to recent measures. Mosques and halal restaurants continue to operate normally. As of July 2025, Japan has approximately 164 mosques, and the Muslim population has increased to around 360,000 people. Their religious rights are still recognized, despite some local opposition campaigns related to building mosques or organizing Islamic activities.
