Located in the mountains of South Japan, in Tsuwano, a very typical Japanese isolated town, this Catholic church has been firstly built in 1892.
It burnt in 1931 and was rebuilt the next year by a German priest, Father Schaefer nearby Tonomachi street known for keeping very colorful carps in its irrigation canal.
Inside the church, there are beautiful stained glass windows and the particularity of this church is the use of tatami instead of common chairs.
The main reason behind the construction of this church in this very remote area is that, Tsuwano has been the location of multiple apparitions of Virgin Mary to 37 Saint Japanese Martyrs.
The exact place where the persecutions and apparitions took place is marked by a small chapel in the forest neaby called Otome Toge. 🙏✨🇯🇵
