Saint Filippo de Jesus Church ( Japan 26 Saints Memorial Church )
Designed by Kenjiro Imai, this church features Gaudi-style twin towers and
was built next to the Nishizaka Martyrdom site.
When plans were made to build a memorial hall for the 26 Japanese Saints
next to the Nishizaka Martyrdom site, a generous donation was received from
Mexico, leading to the church’s construction in 1962.
This church is dedicated to Felipe de Jesús, the first Mexican saint and one of
the 26 Martyrs of Japan. He was a Franciscan Catholic missionary who
sacrificed his life here.
