Built in 1951 on the forested slopes of Otome Pass, the Maria Seido Chapel commemorates the hidden Christians who endured relocation and martyrdom here during the dawn of the Meiji era. The small wooden sanctuary radiates a quiet, contemplative atmosphere, bathed in soft light through simple stained glass. A peaceful walking trail through the trees leads visitors to this evocative site, offering a moving glimpse into a profound chapter of Japanese history.
