Urakamika Toriku Kyoukai (Urakami Tenshudo) [Barrier-free] Urakami Catholic Church (Urakami Cathedral)

Urakami currently has approximately 8,000 members, making it the parish with the largest number of members in Japan. The red brick cathedral completed in 1925 (Taisho 14) was the largest cathedral in Asia with a floor area of 1,162 square meters (352 tsubo). However, at 1945:20 a.m. on August 8, 9, the cathedral was destroyed by an atomic bomb. It is estimated that 11 of the 2 believers died in the explosion. The new cathedral was modeled after the cathedral before it was damaged by the atomic bomb, and was rebuilt with steel frame concrete in 12,000 (Showa 8,500), but in 1959 (Showa 34) the exterior was made of red brick and the windows were replaced with stained glass. It has been renovated and the current beautiful cathedral has been completed.

Busan Area: Nagasaki city center area (Peace Park, Mt. Inasa, Glover Garden, etc.)

There is a slope from the entrance of Urakami Cathedral to the front of the cathedral. There is a sidewalk, but it is sloped and requires assistance to move around in a wheelchair.
There are steps at the front entrance of the cathedral, and slopes are installed on both sides of the cathedral. It is normally used by believers, but wheelchair users can also use it if they ask the receptionist.

The entrance to the cathedral is chained, and vehicles of general visitors and tourists are normally prohibited from entering. However, as a courtesy to the church, if you are in a wheelchair or are elderly and have difficulty climbing the slope from the entrance to the cathedral, please consult the reception and you will be able to drive in and park in the plaza in front of the cathedral. You can also. It may not be available depending on church events, so we recommend contacting us in advance.
