Hirosaki Church, United Church of Christ in Japan

Church
A church built by the Hirosaki Methodist Church in 1906. Located close to Hirosaki Castle Botanical Garden, the wooden building’s gothic style architecture with two towers is an extremely rare example constructed during the Meiji period. A variety of traditional crafts were used in the decorate of the church as well. The pulpit and communion table are painted Tsugaru-nuri lacquer, and the donation baskets are traditional woven vine work. Visitors are permitted, but not when staff are not present or during church events.

    土手町循環バスからも見える、クリーム色の教会です。コロナ禍なので、開館は日曜のみで、平日行ったので中には入れませんでした。パリのノートルダム大聖堂がモデルらしいです。津軽の洋風建築を数多く手がけた堀江佐吉の4男が建てたそうです。
