The inside of the church was dim. And there was a cross innermost in the St. Francis Xavier's Church. The windows above Him were decorated with stained glasses.

This church was built to commemorate a deed of Francis Xavier who was a co-founder of the Society of Jesus. He was engaged in missionary work in Malacca for a period of time.

Francis Xavier is very famous in Japan because he delivered the Christian faith to Japan for the first time.
