26 Martyrs MuseumYou will deep-dive into about the 300-year history of Christianity in Nagasaki — from the arrival of missionaries to the eventual freedom of faith. This place serves as an introduction to the historical sites you will visit later in the tour; Sotome and Shitsu villages where the hidden Christians went into hiding and continued to keep their faith.
-
Michi-no-Eki Yuhigaoka SotomeLocated along the beautiful coast of Sotome — once home to the Hidden Christians — this roadside station offers stunning views and a chance to discover the area’s history and local products. You may grab a quick snack here (at your own cost).
-
Karematsu ShrineThe shrine is said to be a place where Hidden Christians once offered their prayers in secret. Here, you can feel the unique history where different faiths coexist and intertwine. Please wear comfortable shoes and clothing, as we will be walking along a mountain path for about 15 minutes.
-
The Site of Bastian's HutThis old home is tied to the Hidden Christians who kept their faith alive in secret. You can still sense their quiet strength and glimpse how they once lived in hiding from the authorities.
-
This museum presents the achievements of Father de Rotz, who dedicated himself to improving the lives of local villagers. It offers insights into his deep faith and the lasting impact of his work on the community.
-
Former Shitsu Aid CenterAt the Former Shitsu Aid Center, you’ll learn about Father de Rotz, a French missionary who devoted his life to improving the lives of the local people. He established this facility in the late 19th century to provide education, job training, and welfare for those in need.
If it’s canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.
