Visitors are welcome, but not during Friday prayers
Tokyo's mosques are mostly community buildings, and apart from Tokyo Camii they are not set up for sightseers. Visitors of any faith are generally welcome at Tokyo Camii outside prayer times; dress with arms and legs covered, and women should cover their hair, with scarves usually available at the entrance. Shoes come off before the prayer hall. Avoid Friday midday, when the Jumu'ah congregation fills the building, and keep photography away from people who are praying.
