Amakusa Christian Museum

This museum that exhibits Christian relics from Amakusa and archaeological materials is located a 15-minute drive from Amakusa Airport. It explains the history of Christianity in Amakusa centered on the Shimabara Rebellion through easy-to-understand exhibits divided into four zones. You can see about 200 items such as the battle flag of Shiro Amakusa, one of the world's three great military flags designated as an important cultural property of Japan, weapons used in uprisings, plates with crucifixes or other Christian items to prove non-belief from the time when Christianity was suppressed, and Maria Kannon (a statue of the Bodhisattva Kannon worshipped by Japanese crypto-Christians as an avatar of the Virgin Mary) that recall the lives of hidden Christians.
