This is the Otome Toge Cathedral of Mary in Tsuwano Town. It was built on the site of the former Korin-ji Temple, where Christians who were exiled from Urakami, Nagasaki to Tsuwano in the early Meiji period were housed.
To commemorate the martyrs, the Otome Toge Festival is held every year on May 3rd.
