    Nagasaki Pref. Hiradoshi Oishiwakichou 1502-1
    This is a Christian Museum in Neshiko, Hirado City. The museum exhibits historic artefacts related to Francisco Xavier and others who visited Hirado in 1550 to spread Christianity, martyrdom in the early Edo period, and the hidden Christians. The hidden Christian’s image of Mary, who was the object of religious beliefs, and fumi-e (tablets bearing Christian images, on which Edo-period authorities forced suspected Christians to stand on) are also exhibited. It is ten minutes by car from the “Himosashi” bus stop.

    平戸島の中でも海がキレイなことで有名な根獅子の浜の近くにある隠れキリシタンの資料館です。入場料は200円でJAF割引がありました。とても小さな資料館で他のキリシタン資料館の展示物と同じような感じですが、納戸神さまといわれる仏壇横に置かれた棚 納戸に人目を隠れて隠れキリシタンのご神体が秘蔵され祭られていたものが展示されていたのは初めて見ました。館内は撮影禁止でした。

Nagasaki Areas

This hidden corner of the country is rural Japan at its best, where underground activity is to thank for active volcanoes and bubbling natural hot springs along the Shimabara Peninsula as well as the crystal clear waters of the Goto Islands off the west coast. Less well known than Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Park, Nagasaki commemorates its own past at the Nagasaki Peace Park, which sits alongside the charming Meganebashi stone bridge and a mix of religious buildings with beautiful architecture, such as the Zen Buddhist Sofukuji Temple, the Confucian Shrine, and the Oura Christian Church.
