Description
There was a time when Christianity has been banned in Japan.
Goto Islands including Fukue Island are far away from the mainland of Japan.
So many hidden Christians moved to here, after Christianity was banned in the late 16th century.
After lifting the ban on Christianity in 1873, about 50 churches were built in Goto Islands by them.
It is the most proportion of churches to the population in Japan.
Over half of them are in Nakadori Island at the north part of Goto Islands, and 13 churches are in Fukue Island.
Fukue Island has the mood that is a mixture of nature, traditional Japan and Christianity.
This church was built in 1924 with wooden by believers.
