Overview

  • Follow one of the most powerful stories in Japan’s Christian history, from martyrdom and persecution to the survival and rediscovery of faith. Begin at Nishizaka, where the Twenty-Six Martyrs were executed in 1597, and explore the history of Christianity’s arrival in Japan, the centuries of suppression that followed, and the believers who continued their faith in secret. With the Oura Cathedral option, the storey continues to the church where Hidden Christians revealed themselves in 1865. Rather than treating these sites as separate landmarks, your guide connects them as chapters of the same storey—one of sacrifice, endurance, and faith preserved across generations.

Activity itinerary

26 Martyrs Museum

  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Begin at Nishizaka, where twenty-six Christians were crucified in 1597. Inside the museum, trace the arrival of Christianity in Japan, its early acceptance, the growing persecution of believers, and the long history of Christians who continued their faith in secret. Your guide will connect these events to the storey of the Hidden Christians and prepare you for the later “Discovery of Faith” at Oura Cathedral.

Oura Catholic Church

  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
Visit Oura Cathedral, built in honour of the Twenty-Six Martyrs and facing towards Nishizaka, the site of their martyrdom. Learn how this church became the setting for the remarkable 1865 “Discovery of Hidden Christians,” when local believers revealed a faith preserved through generations of persecution. Inside, see the statue of the Virgin Mary associated with that historic encounter and explore the continuing storey of Christianity in Nagasaki.
