A Shirdi Saibaba Temple in Tokyo serves Japan’s small but organized community of devotees of Shirdi Sai Baba, the 19th/early-20th-century Indian saint whose syncretic Hindu-Muslim devotional following has spread internationally alongside the country’s broader Hindu diaspora institutions. Wikipedia’s survey of Hinduism in Japan names it alongside a handful of other temples and centers — including two ISKCON centers, a BAPS Swaminarayan mandir, and a Shiva Shakti Mandir, all documented separately in this directory — serving Japan’s Nepali, Indian, and Sri Lankan migrant communities.
No founding date, exact address, or further descriptive detail beyond its name and city could be confirmed from the source checked in this pass; this entry documents the temple’s confirmed existence pending more specific sourcing.
