Kusahara Christian Prison Ruins

Quite a small building.

Original Text

The Christian suppression was carried out in the early Meiji period before the Catholic Kusuhara Church was built, but near the Catholic Kusuhara Church, the ruins of the prison "Kusuhara Prison Ruins" where believers were trapped and blamed. Is restored to convey the history of persecution to posterity. It's a fairly small building even if it's a prison.

There is actually nothing because it is a trace that there was such a facility. But just reading what was happening here makes me feel something. Those who want to know history should go and feel it.

It exists so that it doesn't stand out that you pass by. Even though it is a prison, it was rebuilt, and at first glance it is just a hut. But 200 people were trapped here, and they couldn't excrete, and it was hard to say when I imagined that many people died here in Xu 々 from physically fit old people and children.

You may not have noticed that this is the site of a prison. If you say it without fear of misunderstanding, it is halfway to leave a building called prison.

It's close to Kusuhara Church.

It is close to Kusuhara Church by car. It is along Prefectural Road 31, but there is no parking lot. Since it is a road with little traffic, I stopped at the road and visited for a short time. It is a facility that can be visited at the stop time. It's the site of a rust shop, but the entrance uses the sash entrance of an ordinary house, so I thought it was a house of others. There are no people, so just go inside and look inside. If you drive to Kusuhara Church, you can stop by together.
