A Unique Catholic Pilgrimage to Japan from the United States in 2019

This author was surprised to learn that there was only one Catholic pilgrimage company in the United States that offered a pilgrimage to Japan, a country she longed to visit, not only to visit Catholic and other historic sites, but also to see, once again, a friend she had not seen for many years. Even though this Catholic pilgrimage was canceled twice due to low enrollment, she never gave up hope that it would come to fruition. It should also be noted that typical Catholic pilgrimages are carried out using a chartered bus. This pilgrimage was unique in that it would be mostly carried out using their high-speed bullet train. To be able to take the bullet train throughout this country enabled her to see what it was like to live not only in a city in Japan but also the beautiful countryside. Hopefully, in the future, more Catholic pilgrimage companies will offer more pilgrimages to Japan to increase their knowledge of the history of Catholicism in Japan.
