Its full name is Kawaguchi Christ Church of the Nippon Sei Ko Kai. The building is of brick, Gothic in manner and plainly designed, a church with a two-storey tower; the chapel is a single room, with the altar at the far end on a floor raised by one step. It was completed in Taisho 9 (1920) to a design by the American architect William Wilson. A foreign settlement was laid out at Kawaguchi in Keio 4 (1868) when Osaka opened its port, and thirteen British firms, along with French, German, American, Dutch and Belgian trading houses, kept offices there. The paved streets separated footway from carriageway, lamps lit them and eucalyptus trees swayed along them, and Western food, bread, milk and laundries are all said to have begun here, so far had Western civilisation taken hold. The river was too shallow for large ships, however, so the area declined, trade shifted to the port of Kobe and the foreign residents moved away. The church is now the only building left that keeps something of Osaka as it was when the port opened. It is a registered tangible cultural property.", "description_ko": "아지카와와 기즈카와가 만나는 모래톱, 니시구 가와구치 지구에 있는 교회예요. 정식 명칭은 일본성공회 가와구치 기독교회고요. 벽돌조에 2층 탑옥이 딸린 교회당으로, 고딕풍의 간결한 디자인으로 정리돼 있어요. 예배당은 한 칸이고 안쪽에 바닥을 한 단 높여 제단부를 두었어요. 준공은 다이쇼 9년(1920), 설계는 미국인 건축가 윌리엄 윌슨이에요. 가와구치에는 오사카 개항과 함께 게이오 4년(1868) 외국인 거류지가 들어서 영국 13개 사를 비롯해 프랑스, 독일, 미국, 네덜란드, 벨기에 상사가 사무소를 두었어요. 포장도로에는 인도와 차도의 구분이 있었고 램프 가로등이 켜졌으며 유칼립투스 가로수가 흔들렸다고 해요. 양식, 빵, 우유, 세탁소 같은 것이 이곳 가와구치에서 시작됐다고 할 만큼 서양 문명이 일찍 열린 곳이었어요. 하지만 강바닥이 얕아 큰 배가 다닐 수 없었던 탓에 일대는 점차 쇠퇴했고, 무역의 중심은 고베항으로 넘어갔으며 외국인들도 떠났어요. 지금은 이 교회가 오사카 개항 무렵의 모습을 간직한 유일한 건물이에요(등록유형문화재).", "description_zh": "教会位于安治川与木津川交汇处的沙洲上，即西区川口一带。正式名称为日本圣公会川口基督教会。建筑为砖造、带两层塔楼的教会堂，采用哥特风格的简洁设计；礼拝堂为一室，里侧地面抬高一级设有祭坛部分。竣工于大正九年（1920），由美国建筑师威廉·威尔逊设计。随着大阪开港，庆应四年（1868）在川口设立了外国人居留地，英国的13家公司以及法国、德国、美国、荷兰、比利时的商社都在此设有办事处。铺装道路上人行道与车道分开，亮着路灯，两旁桉树随风摇曳；据说西餐、面包、牛奶、洗衣店等都是从川口开始的，西洋文明在此开化之早可见一斑。但因河床较浅、大型船只无法通航，这一带逐渐衰落，贸易重心转移到神户港，外国人也随之迁走。如今这座教会是唯一留有大阪开港时期面貌的建筑（登录有形文化财）。", "sources": [ "Wikidata (CC0)", "大阪市 観光施設一覧 (CC BY 4.0)", "大阪府 観光施設一覧 (CC BY 4.0)" ], "address_ja": "〒 550-0021 大阪市西区川口1-3-8", "access_ja": "Osaka Metro中央線「阿波座駅」より徒歩7分", "admission_ja": null, "telephone": "06-6581-5061", "photo": { "url": "https://dealosaka.com/img/sights/kawaguchi-christ-church-cathedral.webp", "thumb": "https://dealosaka.com/img/sights/kawaguchi-christ-church-cathedral-sm.webp", "credit": { "licence": "CC BY-SA 3.0", "licenceUrl": "http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/", "artist": "ignis", "page": "https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kawaguchi_Church_Osaka_JPN_001.jpg", "width": 2304, "height": 3456, "photo": true } }, "exits_naming_it": [], "areas": [], "nearby_sights": [ { "id": "osk-9475f1cc", "slug": "osk-9475f1cc", "name": "津波・高潮ステーション", "url": "https://dealosaka.com/sight/osk-9475f1cc", "category": "museum", "straight_line_m": 256 }, { "id": "Q11440202", "slug": "chuoroshiurishijo", "name": "大阪市中央卸売市場本場", "url": "https://dealosaka.com/sight/chuoroshiurishijo", "category": "market", "straight_line_m": 460 }, { "id": "Q11645989", "slug": "noda-ebisu-shrine", "name": "Noda-Ebisu Shrine", "url": "https://dealosaka.com/sight/noda-ebisu-shrine", "category": "shrine", "straight_line_m": 745 }, { "id": "Q11513663", "slug": "kasuga-shrine", "name": "Kasuga Shrine", "url": "https://dealosaka.com/sight/kasuga-shrine", "category": "shrine", "straight_line_m": 877 }, { "id": "osk-05648362", "slug": "osk-05648362", "name": "花乃井橋", "url": "https://dealosaka.com/sight/osk-05648362", "category": "bridge", "straight_line_m": 947 }, { "id": "osk-bdcc3a6e", "slug": "osk-bdcc3a6e", "name": "明治橋", "url": "https://dealosaka.com/sight/osk-bdcc3a6e", "category": "bridge", "straight_line_m": 955 } ] }, "source": { "listings": "大阪府 観光施設一覧 and 大阪市 観光施設一覧 (CC BY 4.0): names as listed, addresses, descriptions, phones, fees, URLs.
