Holy Resurrection Cathedral

The Holy Resurrection Cathedral features a central dome reaching 35 meters high, constructed with red bricks in Byzantine Revival architectural style.

The cathedral, completed in 1891 under the guidance of Saint Nicholas of Japan, underwent reconstruction in 1929 following damage from the Great Kanto Earthquake.

The cathedral serves as the main religious center for Japanese Orthodox Christians, incorporating traditional Byzantine religious art and architecture in central Tokyo.

Visitors can access the cathedral near Ochanomizu Station, with opening hours from 13:00 to 16:00 during April through September and 13:00 to 15:30 from October through March.
