プランの魅力 Sakitsu Village in Amakusa (World Cultural Heritage Site) の画像

Sakitsu Village in Amakusa (World Cultural Heritage Site) Sakitsu Village, where traces of Christianity from its hidden period to its revival period remain, is one of the constituent assets of the "Hidden Christian Sites in the Nagasaki Region." Time passes slowly in this fishing port village. You might even encounter some cute local cats!

Sakitsu Church The current building was constructed in 1934 during the time of French missionary Father Harbes, and the interior of the stately Gothic church is covered in tatami mats, which is rare even in Japan. The church is a tranquil space, with gentle light streaming in through the vibrant stained glass. It is also known as the "Church of the Sea" as it stands beside the calm waters of Yokaku Bay.

Oe Church This is the earliest church built in Amakusa after the lifting of the ban on Christianity. The current building was built in 1933 by French missionary Father Garnier in collaboration with local believers. Inside the church, you can see stained glass, a simple and warm ceiling, and decorative windows.
