→Why in Japan?
There are Coptic Orthodox Christians throughout Japan. There are Coptic Egyptians, Sudanese and Ethiopians who come to Japan as students for short-term periods to study. Furthermore, some people come to work and stay for long-term. Others have Japanese spouse and families and are permanent residents in Japan. There were some Japanese who have come to know about the Coptic Orthodox Church and were baptised in Japan.
The Coptic Orthodox church was first established in Kobe City, Japan. Later moved to Kagoshima (south of Japan) and then Tokyo (captial city of Japan). Presently, the church is established in Kurayoshi City, Tottori Prefecture western part of Japan. Reverand Father Thomas Kanazaki visits Tokyo and Osaka regions in Japan to conduct holy liturgies upon request. There is a [http://www.copticorthodoxjapan.com Coptic Orthodox Japan Network] set up since October 2011. Linking , connecting Coptic people and non-Coptics in Japan.
