The Oura Catholic Church in Nagasaki, built in the 18th century, is the oldest existing church in Japan, the Gothic wooden church, said to have been built by two French priests. There are long steps in front of the church, and the power of piety is felt during the process of picking up the steps. The interior of the church is set with French stained glass produced 100 years ago, and the sun shines through the glass into the church, not only illuminating the church, but also adding to the sense of sanctity of the church.

    It is the oldest church in existence in Japan and the earliest Gothic wooden church in Japan. It is said to have been built by two French priests, Forno and Ferre, to help the 26 saints who preached in the Xiqiao hills, so it faces the Xiqiao hills. The interior of the church is set with French stained glass produced about 100 years ago. Although most of them were unfortunately severely damaged in the atomic bomb explosion, there are also some restored stained glass mixed with it. The sun shines through the glass into the church, not only illuminating the church. The space for prayer has also been expanded. The church is now listed as a national treasure.

    The Dabu Catholic Church in Nagasaki is an old church with more than 100 years of history and is located on the high ground of Nagasaki. The entire church is very European and unique in the green woods. It is very quiet and elegant. It is definitely worth visiting.

    In 1933, the Dapu Catholic Church, designated by Japan as a national treasure, was the only Western-style building in Japan on a hillside in Nagasaki. It was built to commemorate 26 martyrs. It requires tickets to go in and see it outside. It is very beautiful. I remember that I also came here on a cruise many years ago. There are so many people, maybe the tourists are concentrated together, and I like the passing shops here.

    Every time I take a cruise to Nagasaki, I always arrange to go here before finally boarding. The time is very tight and I can only walk up and down the ramp. This church is at the end of the ramp, next to the entrance of the Gora Bar Park. There is a charge for entering the church, because there is no time to enter, so you can only look at the door. This time you come to see scaffolding outside the church. It may be repaired.

    Take a tram to Dapu Catholic Church and get off and walk for 5 minutes. There are many nearby attractions, Sihai Building, Nagasaki House, Nagasaki Confucius Temple are all on the same road. This port city has a long history of business with China, and it is also the only external window during the closure of Tokugawa Shogunate. When I went, it happened that the quantum asterisk landed, and the road was full of Chinese people, especially Shanghai aunts.

    The Oura Catholic Church, officially known as the Twenty-Six Sacred Martyrs' Church in Japan, is one of the earliest Catholic churches built after 1853 after the end of the lock-up in Japan, and the only Western-style building in Japan's national treasure. Visiting the church can be accessed from the entrance on the side of the church, the interior decoration is very Gothic, very elegant, very mosaic window, the white dome arc inside is beautiful. In order to respect many church members, you can't take pictures in the church, and you have to take off your hats. You can visit each aisle next to it and leave from the exit on the other side. There are many small shops on both sides of the ramp under Dapu Catholic Church. It is worth a visit and you can buy your favorite goods. There is a very historical glass product, you can buy all kinds of beautiful glass products. Opening hours: 8am to 6pm (Tickets required) Transportation: Get off at JR Nagasaki Station and take the city tram from "Nagasaki Station" and get off at "Oura Catholic Church" #Japan Tourism# #Kyushu#
