St. Nicholai Church

On the other side of the Kanda river, there's a beautiful church.
The official name of this church is Holly Resurrection Cathedral in Tokyo and it's the center of the Orthodox Church in Japan.

We call it St. Nicholai Church  named after Priestmonk Nicholai.

This church was built in 1891, but had serious damages by the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923.
It's renovated in 1925-1927.

There was no direct damage by bombing at the World War II in 1945, however, this place was used to store bodies of victim.
