In Shirakawa, a post town on the former Oshu Kaido, there is a church of the Christian Orthodox Church built in the Meiji era. This is still used for worship. It was small, but I couldn't help but want to take a picture.

Compact construction

Original Text

It is a Greek Orthodox church built in a corner of the city of Shirakawa. It was a compact building than I expected when I actually saw it, but it was built in 1915 and will be here for more than 100 years. It is said to be an important cultural property designated by the prefecture. Reservations are required for the tour inside and donations are required (because it is an active church). It's certain that it's a valuable building, but it may be subtle to come all the way to see the exterior. Please take a walk.
