Despite their efforts, the two Muslim organizations have finally found three sites where Muslim bodies could be buried without cream. It was the Islamic cemetery in Koshu is almost full, and two other localities of Kobe and Yoichicho.

Salimur Rahman Khan, 54, Islamic Missions Director of the Japan Islamic Center and professor at Chuo University, said: "The number of Muslims in Japan is estimated at 100,000, and the number is expected to increase in the future, N. 'There is no space after death to rest.

The problem arises because Islamic principles stipulate that dead Muslims should be buried without incineration, although the norm in Japan is incinerated before burial.
