- EBS101 contributionsA significant religious site. Interesting exhibitions of church history and Catholic practise.

In addition to its services the church does volunteer work in support of several activities including a mission to East Timor.
The best way to access the Church, which offers a weekday and Sunday mass, is by bus, from the West Exit of JR Meguro Station. Take the bus headed for Okayama Shogakko (school) and get off at Sareijo Kyokai, a pleasant 15 minute ride in normal traffic along Meguro-Dori.Written March 17, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

They have English Mass at 2:00pm, Vietnamese at 3:30pm, and Korean at 5:00pm. Check the website to confirm.
There’s several portraits around the sanctuary, with my favorite being the Japanese depiction of the blessed Virgin Mary. The gift shop is located outside of the cathedral to the right of the church and is run by the sweetest nuns I’d ever met.

- Melbourne A17 contributionsThe new, circular St. Ignatius Church is grand yet intimate. High-ceilinged with a central chrysanthemum ceiling design that lets the light in.
All through the walls are vertical panels of stained glass, each unique.
The walls are concrete and latticed, adding texture and warmth.
The benches are so mindfully designed with bag hooks designed into the carpentey. Then there are folding helmets clearly marked for each person arranged onto the seats.
The pipe organ is still up in the loft. So visible.
The acoustics is perfect. I could hear every word of the priest. The choir loft was visible.
It's perfect. Much warmer and vibrant than the previous church.

- Line N1 contributionI really enjoyed my trip to Sasebo in general and praying at Miuracho Catholic Church. I'm a Black African and definitely was very noticeable during mass because of my skin tone and I was approached during mass by a Japanese old man who gave me a booklet to follow the mass (as it was held in Japanese). After mass we chatted a little also so as to give me the week program etc; I definitely felt welcomed there. I highly recommend !!Written January 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- thitsarBangkok, Thailand68 contributionsWhile spending my holiday in Gunma area I had a chance to took a day trip to Karuizawa. What a fun trip! Cold but very sunny. Just rent a bike. Got very fresh air while cycling through larches, along lakes, through a beautiful boulevard where many ancient western style mansions situated. In the outlet area, locals enjoyed summer time with their families and pets. So nice to see. It was crowded in Ginza shopping street but was a worth visit. Lots of traditional small shops and eatery stand side by side the street. Strolled around the street and somehow emerged in the woods and met this small church. It’s not particularly beautiful but it has its charm. Felt like it’s the sanctuary. There was a wedding going on so that made it more surreal.Written April 27, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RichardBoiseBoise, ID139 contributionsThis is a unique location; the home of the Tenrikyo church, a new religion with ties to the ancient Japanese faith, Shintoism. Very friendly people and the temple is always open. This is the start of the Yamanobe no Michi trail, so if you're looking for a guide to that pathway may I recommend "The Poets' Realm; Japan's Oldest Road," recently published on Amazon.Written December 30, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
