It was built as a church of The Anglican Church in Japan. The first floor is made of bricks, the second floor is made of wood, and the roof is tiled with a sheet copper. These are ingenuities to make the church quakeproof.
The first floor was for Sunday school and the kindergarten, whilst the second floor was the hall.
Its brick exterior is a beautiful blend of Romanesque and Gothic design, the interior features distinctively Japanese designs appropriate to Kyoto’s climate, such as the bamboo blind in the ceiling. The dark brown bamboo ceiling and wooden clustered columns have an exotic atmosphere.
The bamboo ceiling has an unique atmosphere.
