Masjid di Tokyo: As Salam mosque / OkachiMachi Mosque

Assalamualaikum

Untuk yang ada di sekitar Ueno dan Akihabara, bolehlah ke Assalam Mosque.
Saya tak pernah sekalipun sampai dekat AsSalam Mosque ni, tapi disahkan dengan Google Street View.

Assalam Mosque terletak di Okachimachi Station, kadang-kadang dipanggil Okachimachi Mosque juga.
Masjid ini diurustadbirkan oleh As-Salam Foundation. http://assalaamfoundation.org/

Okachimachi Station ni terletak betul-betul di antara Ueno dan Akihabara Station. Actually boleh jalan ja. Kalau dari Ueno Station, jalan sepanjang AmeYoko Douri (Ame Yoko Street), end of Ame Yoko adalah Okachimachi Station.


Google Maps: https://goo.gl/maps/971jf

Kalau dari tempat lain,
JR : Yamanote Line : Okachimachi Station
Subway : Oedo Line : Uenookachimachi Station
Tokyo Metro  : Hibiya Line : Nakaokachimachi Station

Malangnya, walaupun selalu pergi Ueno ni, tapi tak pernah pula jejak kaki ke mosque ni. Dok solat dekat Ueno Park. So, this time, saya gunakan google Street view untuk capture cara ke As Salam Mosque

Dari Okachimachi Station,

1. Keluar sahajar dari Pintu tengah Okachimachi Station, ambil kanan.

ini pintu belah kiri OkachiMachi Station. Boleh nampak Ame Yoko dekat depan tu. <Yg ada Signage bulat bulat tu>.  Ame Yoko ada kedai kebab dan banyak kedai lagi yg menarik.

Ini pintu tengah Okachi Machi Station (bawah rel keretapi). Keluar pintu ni pergi kanan.

akan berhadapan dengan Okachimachi Centre. Kedai-kedai bawah rel keretapi sepanjang-panjang sampailah ke dekat2 Ueno Station. Beli Perfume murah & Jam Luxury 2nd hand dekat sini la.

2. Jalan terus aja

Jalan terus sampai ke bangunan ungu sana tu. Nampak x? 

3. Dah sampai bangunan ungu tu pon, jalan terus lagi. Actually dekat sekiat bangunan biru ni ada entrance ke NakaOkachimachi Station - Metro Hibiya Line tu

4. Jalan sampai jumpa junction ini. Ada sunkus dekat seberang jalan and kedai apa tah (warna merah) dekat sebelah kanan.

belok kanan bila nampak sunkus.

masuk jangan tak masuk. Jalan ni sehala, kereta ke arah jalan besar.

 5. Dah Belok kanan, Jalan turus aja. Jalan ni sehala.
6. Jalan sampai nampak taman permainan dekat sebelah kanan, ha dah dekat lah. Should nampak kubah biru masjid ni.

nampak tak kubah biru tu.

 7. Dah sampai!!

Pintu masuk As Salam Mosque

 Untuk yang tak ada line internet, ataupun nak simpan map ni. Saya bagi sekali offline map ni.

Masjid di Tokyo : Musolla Shin- Okubo

Selain dari Tokyo Camii Mosque. Antara tempat solat yang agak fofular dengan student / workers  di Jepun adalah Shin-Okubo Musolla.

Shin-Okubo Musolla bukanlah 1 unit masjid seperti Tokyo Camii, tapi cuma rumah kedai / apartment yang diubahsuai untuk dijadikan tempat solat.

Cara-cara untuk ke Shin-Okubo Musolla

Google Maps : https://goo.gl/maps/id2Ot 

Kalau dari Mana-mana station, boleh naik Yamanote Line ke Shin-Okubo Station.
Shin Okubo Station, cuma 1 station dari Shinjuku Station. Harga normal JPY 140. Of course, covered by JR Pass.

Bila dah sampai Shin-Okubo Station,

1. Selepas exit gate, terus je lintas jalan.

lintas jalan selepas exit gate JR Shin-Okubo Station.

 2. Lepas tu belok ke kiri
3. Sampai simpang pertama, belok kanan..

gambar bahagian kiri dari exit gate Shin-Okubo. Masuk kanan dekat papan iklan merah tu.

ha simpang ni la! Tecit ja, jangan terlepas.

Bila dah masuk ke dalam simpang. 

 4. Jalan kejap je, nanti nampak kedai groceries & kedai kebab dekat sebelah kiri. Kebab tu Halal wo! Ni lah sebab Shin-Okubo  ni femes. Makan + Solat.

Kebab halal

 5. Lepas ja kedai kebab tu, belok kiri. Simpang first korang jumpa.

6. Lepas satu vending machine, ada tangga naik ke appartment. Nanti akan nampak signage macam di bawah..

7. Sila menapak ke tingkat 4.
8. Musolla lelaki di belah kiri, perempuan belah kanan kalau tak salah.
9. Ambil wuduk paip dia style klasik jepun. Kena push heater button and tunggu sekejap. Kalau tak mengigil wo.

Area sini juga ada beberapa kedai halal selain kedai kebab tadi. Nanti akan update. :)

Go Japan – JR Pass Contoh Itinerary

Episode JR Pass 2:

Untuk kita tahu samada berbaloi ataupun tidak menggunakan JR Pass. Adalah baik untuk kita detail up itinerari.

Saya beri satu contoh di bawah untuk detail itinerary.

Yang iini cuma basic itinerary untuk menggunakan JR Pass. Which cover only Tokyo - Osaka - Kyoto - Kobe aku tambah Nara.

Kalau yang tak berapa nak rajin baca detail, aku bagi conclusion awal-awal

Itinerary ni berdasarkan guest yang beli Tiket Air Asia ke Haneda Airport Tokyo.
Which sampai malam dan depart balik Kuala Lumpur nanti pun malam juga.

Jadi total termasuk 1 hari sampai Tokyo adalah 8 hari.
Kita mula guna JR Pass pada hari kedua di Airport.

Jumlah penggunaan train JR adalah    : JPY 43370
Cost JR Pass                : JPY 29110
Jadi dapat jimat sebanyak         è JPY 14260 (~ RM 456)

Untung hampir separuh dari harga JR Pass. (O.o)!

Berbahloi bahloi!

Ok. Macammana aku tahu detail semua pricing ni. - Kita gukanan hyperdia.com.
