St. Francis Xavier's Cathedral
Heritage building
👍👍 When you step inside, you can see the dark and colorful stained glass. The interior of the church is made of wood and feels warm. It doesn't look big from the outside, but once you step inside, the high ceilings make it feel small. The calm atmosphere is also tasteful.

👍👍 無料で入ることが出来る。外にはいくつかの竪穴式住居や跡地を確認できる。日によっては焚き火なども行うが外は藪蚊が多いのが難点。 行った時期にはムクロジなどの木の実を警備員の方が見せてくれて、一つ戴いてきた。 建物内は多くの出土品、関連の蔵書が展示されており展示外の多大な数の土器も垣間見れる。
