Sacred Heart Cathedral, Gothic Revival Cathedral in Yamatechō, Japan.
The Sacred Heart Cathedral exhibits vertical stone walls, pointed arches, and detailed stained glass windows depicting religious narratives throughout its structure.
The original church from 1862 was rebuilt in 1906 with two bell towers, but the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 required a complete reconstruction.
The cathedral represents the integration of European religious architecture in Japan, marking a period when foreign worship restrictions were removed.
Visitors can attend Mass in English on Sundays at 7:30 AM and 9:30 AM, with Spanish services available monthly on the second Sunday.
Czech architect Jan Josef Švagr designed this cathedral, which serves four Japanese prefectures: Kanagawa, Shizuoka, Nagano, and Yamanashi.
