It's said those that lived here were descendents of settlers from Shitsukyo, Kurosaki, Ikejima, and other Sotome area settlements. In 1916, the current church was designed and constructed by Yosuke Tetsukawa. The former church was dismantled and reconstructed in Doinora on Wakamatsu Island. The current church has a multilayered roof, and the interior features a traditional church design—a nave with two aisles and a rib vault ceiling. The outside walls are decorated by the unevenness and varying colors of the bricks.

<Note>
Churches are very important places of prayer for their followers. When observing churches, please follow proper etiquette such that everyone can feel comfortable in the churches. A guide for church etiquette can be found here.
