Sacred Heart Cathedral is the seat of the bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Yokohama, Japan. The Yokohama diocese includes Kanagawa, Shizuoka, Nagano, and Yamanashi prefectures. As it is located at 44 Yamate-cho, Naka-ku, the cathedral is commonly known locally as Yamate Catholic Church . Immediately after the loosening of the prohibition of Christian faith in Japan, a Catholic church was built in 1862 by the Paris Foreign Missions Society in the Yokohama foreign settlement . This church moved to the current location in 1906, and was a brick building with two bell towers. The 1923 Great Kantō earthquake completely destroyed it. The present Yamate Catholic Church was designed by Czech architect Jan Josef Švagr in the Neo-Gothic style and completed in 1933. When the Diocese of Yokohama was erected in 1937, the Yamate church became its cathedral.Currently, Catholic masses are held on weekdays at 7am, Saturdays at 6pm, and Sundays at 7.30am, 9.30am and 1130am. Spanish language services are held every month on the second Sunday at 2pm .
