The 1%


Japan is 1% Christian so from time to time I hear about churches near where I live and go to school. I often saw this church from the train as I commuted to school. I recently walked to the church to see it up close. It's positioned crookedly on a side street surrounded by more typically Japanese homes and businesses. The building is throughly modern inside and I would guess it was built in the last 30 years or so. As with most buildings in Japan, there's basically no parking so I suppose most of the people who attend this church must arrive via train. These churches are much more visible than the far more numerous Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines so I often notice churches in the distance while riding the train.
