Imamura Cathedral is located in Tachiarai, Fukuoka-prefecture. A Christian group was born in this region in the late 16th century. When Christianity was banned, I continued my faith as a hidden Christian. The twin-towered Romanesque-style brick Cathedral planned by Father Tamotsu Honda and completed in 1923 with financial aid from foreign countries. It was designed and constructed by Yosuke Tetsukawa, who was a master church builder at the time. The Cathedral has been designated as a national important cultural property.
