I'd say Russian or Greek Orthodox from the icon over the door and the

Built in 1859, rebuilt in 1916: the Russian Orthodox Church in Hakodate-shi, Hokkaido, Japan. Oldest Russian Orthodox church in Japan.

Right, Walter, I was so surprised to see it there in a Japanese context but actually the town is very close to Russia and has many Russian influences. A pleasant centre to walk around in.
