Facts and practical information

Nara Christian Church is a church of the Anglican Church of Japan located in Nara City, Nara Prefecture. It was built in 1930 as a purely Japanese-style church because Western-style buildings were not allowed in the Nara Park area, which did not fit the landscape. It was designed and built by Kichitaro Ohki, a member of the church and a temple carpenter. There is a transom inside the church.
