Lentorama 2012: Know Your Diocese


Day 31: Archdiocese of Tokyo


There aren't a lot of Catholics in Tokyo (something like 0.5% of the population), not surprising given the 300 years or so where the faith was outlawed. For those living in Tokyo, though, they have the option of attending services in the striking St. Mary's Cathedral. It's not going to be to everyone's taste - there are aspects I'm not particularly wild about - but as churches built after 1950 tend to be either dull or hideous, it's a winner.
