[Nagasaki/Goto] SUP tour following the hidden Christians' prayer path from the sea

This SUP tour is a special course that takes you from the sea to the caves where the hidden Christians once prayed and the remains of the settlement where they actually lived. You will sail through some of Naru Island's most crystal clear waters to a quiet area where there is almost no sign of people. Along the way, you can enjoy views of uninhabited islands where you can land and Kuzushima, where the hidden Christians are said to have first migrated. Enjoy a relaxing time surrounded by nature and history, and a deep moment of self-reflection.

In the past, hidden Christians traveled between caves and settlements in rowboats without engines. On this tour, you'll travel the same sea routes on a SUP, which propels you through the sea under your own power without using any motor, with a physical sensation similar to that of the time. The time you spend sailing through the quiet sea is itself an experience that brings you face to face with history.

This sea area, dotted with cliffs and caves, offers scenery that cannot be seen from land. From the height of the water that can only be reached by SUP, you can enjoy up close the secluded scenery created by the highly transparent waters and topography. In the distance, you can also see Kuzu Island, where the hidden Christians are said to have first settled.

There is little boat traffic and the area is away from other tourist routes, so by being in a place away from the presence of people and artificial sounds, your breathing and thoughts will naturally slow down and become more regulated. Rather than just traveling, you will spend time alone, quieting your mind and giving yourself time to reflect.
