Karuizawa Union Church

Nice old church

It's reasonably central, so if you happen to be walking past, it's worth popping in. The church has a nice wooden interior and it's obviously part of the history of the area.

It was founded as a joint Christian church in Karuizawa in 1873.

　From the main street of former Karuizawa, also known as the former Karuizawa, headed east in a narrow alley to find Union Church. This church was built in 1897 as a joint Christian church in Karuizawa, where everyone, regardless of nationality or sect, can gather. The church seems to be closed except in summer, and the ５ moon we visited was quiet.

I feel that there are many churches in Karuizawa, probably because foreigners used to have villas. This is one of them. The construction is simple on a wooden base.

It is built in a quiet area that spreads to the south side of the former Karugaru Ginza. Although it is a relatively small wooden church, it is said to have been renovated by the famous architect Vories. The interior was also very simple, with a cross hanging from the ceiling and a wooden worship seat.
