Religious Site Tourist Spot

• ©

Visit Japan's first Catholic convent at Trappistine Monasteries. Established in 1898, construction finished on the current building in 1927, culminating in a distinctly European architectural style, with both Gothic and Romanesque features. A number of information panels around the grounds detail the history of the site and the story of Catholicism in the country, though entrance to the building itself is not permitted. Eighty nuns live a self-sufficient life on the site, selling sweets to make a living, so pick up some of the sweet treats available, including Madeleines and butter candies.

  我們一家人從函館車站附近走到這裡, 沿途的風景還不錯, 到了修道院後感覺到一股寧靜安詳. 建築很美, 門口還有賣好吃的冰淇淋. 我們在裡面待了大約一個多小時後再搭車回函館.  more »

  Our family came to this near the station, the scenery along the way is not good, to the monastery after the feeling of a sense of peace. It's beautiful, and there's delicious ice cream in the mouth. We stayed here for a long time before we called back.

  あいにくの天気で印象が薄いのですが、静かで綺麗に整えられた院内。お布施？のかわりに売店で買い物して帰りました。  more »

  Unfortunately, the weather makes a small impression, but the hospital is quiet and clean. Fuse? Instead, I went shopping at the shop and went home.
