Remains of Kirishitan Yashiki — Attraction in Tokyo

Certainly, here’s a translation of the information you provided about the Christian residence (切支丹屋敷) in Bunkyo Ward:

Five years after the Shimabara Rebellion (1637-1638), an Italian missionary named Pietro Marquez and 10 others drifted to Chikuzen. They were immediately sent to Edo and imprisoned in the Tenma-cho jail. Later, a jail and guard station were constructed within the lower residence of the religious inquisitor Inoue Masashige. This was the beginning of the Christian residence. It continued until the abolition of the religious inquisition in 1792. Under the closed country and anti-Christian policies, missionaries and believers were detained there. In 1708, the Italian missionary Giovanni Sidotti arrived on Yakushima and was imprisoned in the Christian residence. Arai Hakuseki, who served the 6th Tokugawa Shogun Ienobu, interrogated Sidotti and compiled the information in “Seiyō Kibun” (Tales of the Western World). During an archaeological excavation conducted in 2014, three graves and human remains were discovered. One of the bodies is believed with high probability to be Sidotti.
