Our Lady of Imari Abbey

7 08 2008

There are secluded monasteries and convents in Japan.  None of which have I ever been to due to the fact that they are in the middle of nowhere.  I have however seen the products they produce in religious shops and even the grocery store where I have found Trappist butter.

Here

is a link to Our Lady of Imari Abbey in Saga prefecture.  The site is in Japanese but easy to explore and the photos are self explanatory.
