Kagoshima St. Xavier's Cathedral

Kagoshima was the first place where Christianity was introduced in Japan in the mid-16th century. This church was built in 1908 as the first full-scale stone cathedral church in Japan but was destroyed by fire in 1945, during WWII. It has been rebuilt twice since then. Here visitors can learn why Xavier came to Kagoshima and the history of the hardships of Christianity in Japan after its introduction to Japan and its current situation.
