Guided Tour in Japanese

Guided tour in Japanese
To help visitors get to know the facility more deeply, we provide guide-tour in the Japanese language for general visitors who are coming to visit for the first time. Our Japanese-speaking staff guides you inside the building; you can see the scene of worship every Saturday, Sunday, and public holidays from 14:30 (Required time: approximately 45-60 minutes). Reservations are not necessary even for groups, so please come directly to the 1st-floor entrance hall. *No guided tour will be held if holidays fall on Friday.

If you wish to have a guided tour for groups of 5 people or more at other times than above, please apply in advance from Visitors Calendar. *It is forbidden to provide tour-guide by external personnel.
