Things to do in Kinki, Japan: The Best Churches & Cathedrals

June 29, 2021 Jana Sager

The Kansai region (関西地方, Kansai-chihō) or the Kinki region (近畿地方, Kinki-chihō) lies in the southern-central region of Japan's main island Honshū. The region includes the prefectures of Mie, Nara, Wakayama, Kyoto, Osaka, Hyōgo and Shiga, sometimes Fukui, Tokushima and Tottori. While the use of the terms "Kansai" and "Kinki" have changed over history, in most modern contexts the use of the two terms is interchangeable. The urban region of Osaka, Kobe, and Kyoto (Keihanshin region) is the second-most populated in Japan after the Greater Tokyo Area.

Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Reviewed By 665gertrudeb

Although off the usual tourist path, once we arrived after several subway transfers and after walking several blocks, it was all worth it. The anticipated Saturday Mass was very solemn. The stained glass and artwork was breathtaking. I would love to worship here again
