⛪ Spiritual Heritage Walk in Maebashi

#hellohalloween The city of Maebashi is home to a remarkable cluster of historic churches, affectionately known as the “Machinaka Church Group.” Within walking distance of one another, these beautiful buildings reflect the city’s rich spiritual and cultural diversity — each with its own architectural charm and story to tell. Start your walk at the Maebashi Catholic Church, a graceful structure with stained-glass windows that cast colorful light across the pews. From there, head to the Maebashi Orthodox Church (ハリスト正教会), where the traditional domes and crosses stand out against the sky — a rare sight in Japan. Continue on to the Maebashi St. Matthew Church, a serene space known for its welcoming atmosphere, and finish at the United Church of Christ in Japan, Maebashi Church (日本キリスト教団前橋教会), a symbol of community and unity. Each stop on this quiet pilgrimage offers not just architectural beauty but a sense of peace and timelessness. Whether you’re interested in history, design, or spirituality, the Maebashi Church Walk is a unique way to experience the city’s gentle rhythm. 📍 Maebashi, Gunma #maebashi #gunmatrip #churchwalk #architecturelovers #japantravel #spiritualjourney #heritagetour
