A church in Karuizawa belonging to the Central Diocese of the Anglican Church in Japan, located at the top of the old Karuizawa Ginza street😊 It stands in the woods after passing through the old Karuizawa Ginza street🥰🥰🥰 The original form of the current chapel was built in 1895 as the first church building in Karuizawa, and it seems to have been expanded and remodeled by 1922 to become almost its current form. Since then, it has been restored many times and has come to this day🥰 It is open throughout the day as a place of spiritual relaxation for people visiting Karuizawa in the villa area😆 I stopped by on a walk from the old Karuizawa Ginza street🤣🤣🤣

This wooden chapel surrounded by trees was built in the 1800s by A.C. Shaw, a Canadian missionary known as the “father of Karuizawa.” Despite its simple exterior, it’s warm and cozy inside. Don’t miss the replica of Shaw’s summer home nearby—it’s free!

It is a small church, but once inside, you can feel the quietness and the smell of wood, which makes you feel very calm. If you want to feel the quietness of the church and the air of the forest, this is a good place to visit.

カナダ出身のショーは宣教師として日本に派遣された人物で、宣教師以外にも福沢諭吉子供たちの家庭教師となったり、慶應義塾大学の英語教師として招聘もされた人物ですが、そのショーがたまたま訪れた軽井沢を大変気に入り生涯の避暑地とし、自ら軽井沢で最初の別荘を建て、軽井沢の避暑地としての魅力を内外に紹介した結果、多くの外国人や著名人が軽井沢を訪れたり別荘を建てるようになり、『軽井沢の恩父』と呼ばれている人物です。 そのショーによって創設された軽井沢最古の教会がショー記念礼拝堂で、今なお現役の教会です。旧軽井沢銀座通の喧騒を離れたとても静かで落ち着く、素敵な教会でした。 軽井沢にある有名な石の教会・内村鑑三記念館の内村鑑三はショーの弟子であり、両方見学することで、日本の近代史、軽井沢の歴史を垣間見る事が出来ます。
