Is this a
Samurai Castle
in Japan?
No!
It is Makiki Christian Church
right here in Honolulu!
" Inspired by the early Edo period
(late sixteenth–early seventeenth century)
Himeji Castle in Japan,
this church is the only
Christian church in the United States
to be modeled after a
sixteenth-century Japanese castle. "
A Vital Thriving Part of Our Honolulu
and one of my personal
favorite buildings on
our islands.

Thank You

When I looked at the first photograph I immediately thought of Himeji Castle which I visited a few years back while in Japan. Thanks for sharing this unique church building.
