Oura Catholic Church is a Gothic-style Catholic church with white walls in Nagasaki. It is also Japan's oldest wooden Western-style building and is designated a National Treasure. Its most distinctive feature is its blend of Eastern and Western architectural styles, along with the elegantly colored stained-glass windows inside. It is also a sacred site that witnessed the historic miracle known as the “Discovery of the Hidden Christians” in Japan. During my visit, I could feel the solemn, tranquil atmosphere. Sunlight shining through the beautiful stained glass created an interplay of light and shadow that made me feel especially peaceful, and I was deeply moved by the profound history of this World Heritage site.

日本同事喜歡買的高人氣的伴手禮~酥脆的多層派皮中間夾著香濃餡料，最外層再包裹上一層薄薄的巧克力。咬下時能感受到派皮的香酥與巧克力的香醇交織，口感層次極為豐富。共有草莓、檸檬、開心果與榛果等豐富口味，常常一下子就被掃空。
