Unlike the blasted remains of the Hiroshima Trade Hall (now known as the Genbaku Dome), which remain as they were on August 6, 1945, what little of Urakami Cathedral that survived the 1945 Nagasaki bombing was taken away.
A diferència de les restes destrossades del Memorial de la Pau d'Hiroshima (conegut actualment com la Cúpula de la Bomba Atòmica), que continuen com si encara fos el 8 d'agost de 1945, les escasses parts de la catedral d'Urakami que van sobreviure al bombardeig han estat retirades.
