In 1899, there was a gathering spot known as the "house cathedral", which also served as a chapel. Christians from twenty households upkept this church, but when Father Osaki became the head priest of Aosagaura Church, he had a white church constructed atop the hill in Maruo which would formally become an itinerant church. It was remodeled in 1972, and in 1975 it became independent from Aosagaura Parish and formed the Maruo Parish.


<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.
