TOKYO -- A prayer room opened in Tokyo Station on Monday, the latest effort by Japan to attract more Muslims, Buddhists and other religiously observant tourists from Asia.
The 8-sq.-meter space is located in the station's travel service center. The space, open from 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., is small, with room for two people to pray simultaneously. But it has a faucet to allow Muslims to perform wudu, or ritual washing before praying.
