Introduction to Amakusa Tourist Destinations

Colegio Hall, a seminary established in Amakusa at the end of the 16th century for the purpose of training missionaries, was created by European missionaries, so many historical relics related to the West remain.

You can see exhibits with historical significance, such as Japan's first printed materials and Gutenberg-style printing presses, and replicas of old Western musical instruments are also on display! 

Sakitsu Village

Amakusa Sakitsu Village has been designated as a World Heritage Site in recognition of its historical and religious significance, and is also famous as a Japanese pilgrimage route, so many tourists visit.

In Sakitsu Village, there is Sakitsu Church, a Catholic church built in 1934. Although the church building itself was built in a European style, if you go inside, you will see Japanese tatami mats, making it a unique building that combines Japan and the West. The church is located in the harbor and is also called the Cathedral of the Sea. 

Oe Tenshudo Church

Oe Tenshudo Church, the first church built in Amakusa, is characterized by its appearance on a hill. The statue of Father Garnier, the French missionary who built the church, and the statue of the Virgin Mary are the main attractions, and it is still considered a symbol of Catholicism in Amakusa. 

*Photography and videography are prohibited inside the church.
