The beautiful bell sounds of the Japanese Orthodox Church resonate deeply in the heart.
Nestled in a residential area, the Hakodate Orthodox Church, following the Russian Orthodox tradition, stands out with its exquisite appearance.
This Japanese Orthodox Church features Russian crosses on its roof and upper parts of the building, characterized by three horizontal bars – two straight and one diagonal. Beneath these crosses are domes or 'cupolas,' a distinctive decoration seen in Orthodox Church buildings. The church's architecture, including arched windows and hemispherical roofs, is filled with the charm of Eastern Orthodox construction. Certain areas are available for photography, allowing visitors to capture its stunning beauty. For a donation, you can also tour the inside of the church.
The church's bell is also famous and has been selected as one of the "100 Best Soundscapes of Japan." It produces a unique melodic tone, typically rung at the beginning and end of prayers. Since 2020, the church has undergone extensive preservation and renovation works, allowing visitors to see the newly refurbished sanctuary.
