UCCJ Naniwa Church, Protestant church in Kōraibashi, Japan.

The three-story church building features Gothic steeple windows with yellow and green stained glass, creating a luminous interior space within its sanctuary.

The church originated from Naniwa Kokai in 1877 with eleven believers, while the current structure was completed in 1930 by Takenaka Corporation.

William Merrell Vories, who supervised the church construction, contributed to Japan through education, architecture, and the introduction of Mentholatum products.

The church welcomes visitors with free admission and stands a five-minute walk from Yodoyabashi Station on both Keihan Railway and Osaka Metro.

The church building maintains its retro architecture from the early Showa period among modern office structures in the Kitahama district of Osaka.
