Holy Resurrection Cathedral, also known as Nikolai-do, is a prominent Eastern Orthodox cathedral located in the Kanda district of Tokyo, Japan. The cathedral was originally built in 1891 under the guidance of St. Nicholas of Japan, an Orthodox missionary. Its architectural style blends traditional Byzantine elements with local Japanese influences, featuring a striking green dome and intricate interior frescoes. Despite suffering damage during the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923 and World War II, the cathedral has been meticulously restored and continues to serve as the spiritual center for the Orthodox Christian community in Japan.
