In Sakitsu Village, there is a Catholic cathedral, Sakitsu Cathedral , built in 1934. The cathedral building itself is built in a European style, but inside, you will find Japanese tatami mats, making it a unique building that combines Japanese and Western styles. The cathedral is located in a port, so it is also called the Cathedral of the Sea.
