Kawaguchi Christ Church Cathedral, Anglican cathedral in Nishi-ku, Osaka, Japan.
Kawaguchi Christ Church Cathedral is an Anglican cathedral in Osaka featuring Gothic architectural style. The building displays a two-story brick construction with a chapel containing a raised altar positioned at the rear of the interior.
William Wilson designed the structure in 1920 during Osaka's period of increased international contact. The building later became the merged result of two separate Anglican churches that united their congregations in 1981.
The cathedral serves the Osaka Diocese under Nippon Sei Ko Kai, maintaining Anglican traditions and religious services for the local congregation.
The building is located roughly seven minutes on foot from Awaza Station on the Osaka Metro Chuo Line. Visitors interested in viewing the grounds should arrange a reservation in advance to ensure access.
The building stands as one of the last surviving structures from Osaka's former foreign settlement during the era when international commerce first arrived in the Kawaguchi district. This status makes it a rare remnant of the city's early trading period.
