View a rare Gothic-style church with tatami-mat floors

About this spot

Facing Tono-machi Street, this Gothic-style church is unusual for a white-walled castle town. In contrast to its imposing exterior, the interior has uniquely tatami-mat floors, and exhibits document the history of Christian persecution. A quintessentially Tsuwano sight that blends with the castle town landscape while evoking a sense of foreign elegance.
