In 1980s, Muslims around the area started to collect donations for construction. Eventually, the mosque was built in 1998.[1] In 2002, they were recognized as a religious corporation in the name of Islamic Center of Nagoya,[1] and since then, they started running the mosque. The organization also set up a mosque called Gifu Masjid in Gifu Prefecture in 2008.

The organization distributes issuances and offers introductory booklets on Islam.[2]

Prior to the construction of this mosque, there was a mosque called Nagoya Muslim Mosque in this area, which was burned down during World War II.
