this looks un japanese to me...nice!
Hi, Nice shot, it indeed doesn't look Japanese to me but I like culture migles. Happened to bumb into a chinese? temple lately, in a town close by, that was an surprise.
The architecture does not look like the one of a catholic church as we know them here. I did not know that François -Xavier was the first missionnary to come to Japan.
The statues seem to be the Virgin Mary? Very interesting post!
Very interesting architecture.
Quite a big building, so must have a few followers. Nice capture.
Beautiful!
It is strange to see a Catholic Church so far away.
