[Nagasaki🇯🇵] A beautiful and huge chapel✨Urakami Cathedral

Nagasaki's Urakami Cathedral is a beautiful brick Catholic church located on a hilltop, about a 15-minute walk from JR Urakami Station. ⛪️🕊️

With a history of being rebuilt after being destroyed by the atomic bomb, it has a "Symbol of Peace" theme. It's a sacred place of prayer and worship for many, with both locals and tourists visiting to quiet their minds. ♡

The church's greatest draw is its magnificent dome, beautiful stained glass windows, and the opportunity to leisurely stroll through the majestic space. ✨
In particular, a portion of the destroyed cathedral remains on the grounds as a relic from the atomic bombing, providing a renewed sense of the preciousness of peace.

The quiet, solemn atmosphere is truly soothing.
With a garden and plaza, you can enjoy it regardless of the weather, making it a convenient place for a break or meeting up. 🙆♀️

It's relatively easy to access from Nagasaki's tourist attractions, making it a great place to combine a visit to Peace Park and the Atomic Bomb Museum. 🎶

📍Address: 1-79 Motoo-cho, Nagasaki City, Nagasaki Prefecture 852-8112
🕰Hours: Varies depending on visiting hours and mass times.
