Tsuwano Catholic Church

star

4.2 (215)

ロ66−7 Ushiroda, Tsuwano, Kanoashi District, Shimane 699-5605, Japan

Tsuwano Catholic Church was built by Father Schafer, a German, in 1931, and it features Gothic-inspired architecture. Of wood and plaster construction, the building is particularly noticeable amid the oldscape of Tsuwano’s Tonomachi area. Fitting for an old church, the interior features a tatami floor and beautiful, vividly-colored stained glass. The Otome Toge Exhibition Room adjacent to the church houses a collection of materials relating to the martyrdom of Christians.

Little Church that sits in Tsuwano. 20 minutes walk from the Chapel and the morning mass is at the Convent a few streets down. People need to know what happened here. What Christians went through to practice freely.

One of the few buildings that are of different architecture. Nice building with a rich history.

If you"re a Catholic like me and you happened to pass by Tsuwano or visited Tsuwano,Japan , there is a solemn Catholic ⛪ church there. Please visit the church and feel the peace and holiness while praying for your devotion. Outside is a playground for kids and a mini museum where you can see photograps and some religious articles about catholicism history in Japan. You can also buy religious items like rosary, pamplets saints figurine, bracelets in a very cheap price . Outside the church you will surely love to watch Koi 's (japanese colorful fish) swimming in a very clean water canal . They are really wonderful , colorful and big different kind of fishes.
