聖サビエル記念公園, Memorial park in Yamaguchi, Japan
Saint Xavier Memorial Park features a 5-meter tall monument made of cement and bronze, depicting Francis Xavier gazing at the sky in any weather.
The park stands on the former site of Daidoji Temple, which served as the first Christian church location in Japan during the 16th century.
The park includes statues of Father Billion and Lord Ouchi Yoshitaka, representing the connection between Christianity and Japanese feudal leadership.
Visitors can reach the park within 8 minutes by foot from Kamiyamaguchi Station, with several temples and shrines located in the surrounding area.
Every December, the park hosts Christmas celebrations that mark Yamaguchi as the birthplace of Christmas celebrations in Japan.
