Otome Toge Maria Chapel - Christian Martyr Site, Tsuwano Shimane - 乙女峠マリア聖堂 - Japan As It Truly Is
The Maria Seido Chapel site was one of the saddest episodes in Japan's history, when many hidden Christians were tortured and killed between 1868 to 1873. About 3000 Christians in Urakami (Nagasaki) were arrested and divided into 21 groups to destroy their faith. One of these groups (153 people) was sent to Tsuwano, where they were thrown into icy ponds naked and had ice water poured on them to try to break their faith. When that failed, they were starved, giving the Christians only 2 rice balls a day and locked in 3' by 3' cages in the cold winter nights.
One of the most famous stories during this persecution was of one man named Yasutaro who was forced to be in a cage night after night in the winter cold, and says he saw visions of the Virgin Mary which gave him strength to continue. But in January 1869 after a heavy snowfall completely buried the cage, he was found dead inside. About 54 of the Christians renounced their faith due to the torture and persecution, and were immediately freed to live in a nearby village. But several still held sympathy for the remaining converts, and secretly managed to get food to them in the camp. In the end about 36 people were martyred, and those that survived the ordeal were returned to Urakami, Nagasaki.
The land is on a now defunct Buddhist temple, and was purchased by the Catholic Church in 1939. The chapel was constructed there in 1948.
At the start of the Christian persecution by the 3rd Shogun, Iemitsu, some estimate that about 300,000 Japanese converts existed in Japan. Today, about 1% of the population calls itself Christian, about evenly split between Catholicism and Protestantism.
Unfortunately also at the time of this video there was a lot of major construction work going on, but now it must look extremely nice. The cherry blossoms at the start of spring were also very beautiful.

OKAGO: The 309 Martyrs - Short Documentary Film
At the beginning of the Edo period, more than 300 people were martyred at Okago.
The history of this period of persecution and oppression, the way people protected their faith and their noble character, must not be lost but preserved for future generations.
The footage of the diorama appearing in the video was taken on Okago Christian Museum in Fujisawa Town, Ichinoseki City, Iwate Prefecture, Japan.

Japan Travel: Otome Toge Maria Seido Chapel Tsuwano, Shimane 020
Japan Travel: Otome Toge Maria Seido Chapel Tsuwano, Shimane 020
The Otome Toge Maria Chapel (Otome Tōge Maria Seidō) was built in 1951 in memory of Christian martyr. At the beginning of Meiji Period (1868-1912). This small rustic chapel stands in the woods west of Tsuwano Station.
Christianity was prohibited in Japan during the Edo Period (1603-1867) but there are some Japanese Christians who continued to practice their religion secretly.
After the Meiji Restoration (1867), some of them made their belief public after, partly unknowing that the ban was still in place. These Christians, mostly from Nagasaki, were sent in groups to various parts of Japan to be persuaded to abandon their religion. One of these places was Tsuwano, where the Otome Toge Maria Chapel currently stands.
Torture ensued when persuasion tactics failed, and 36 of the Christians did not survive the ordeal owing to torture. There is a monument with a statue of Virgin Mary and a man in a cage beside the chapel, depicting the story of one of the Chirstians who was locked up and left in the cold, but stood steadfast because he reportedly saw the apparition of Virgin Mary every night.

Steam train arrive at Tsuwano Japan
Double Header steam train from Yamaguchi-City to Tsuwano.
The train runs most weekends and is called Yamaguchi-Go and is pulled by C56 and C57. On the trip back to Yamaguchi it is coming back down from the mountains, so the loco's are on the front and back.
We travel on the trip back and it was wonderful. Japanese trains have windows at every seat that opens from the top and bottom. So you can open the bottom window and hear the engines. No Elf and Safety police here, so no problem sticking your head out or your camera. Mind you it is single track, so the only thing you would hit is a branch.
Back home now and still having bits of soot falling out my hair
