The ticket fee is ¥1000, which is absurd.

As with most historical churches in Japan, pictures are forbidden in the church interior.

That being said, Oura Church is the oldest extant church in Japan. It is quite beautiful. It is dedicated to the 26 Martyrs of Japan, and a museum next to the church gives a brief overview of the tumultuous history of Christianity in Japan.

Included with the ticket is a booklet giving a more detailed history of Christianity in Nagasaki.

Oura Church is one of the most interesting and beautiful attractions in Nagasaki, but the price...

1549年9月29日、日本史上、最初にフランシスコ・ザビエルによりキリスト教が行われた場所は伊集院城(一宇治城・城山公園)。 鹿児島にある。 西郷隆盛の美人妻は伊集院須賀夫人👯 伊集院須賀夫人の弟が華族(子爵)の伊集院兼寛。

1549年、日本史上、最初にキリスト教(フランシスコ・ザビエル)が鹿児島に上陸。 天下分け目、関ヶ原の戦いにて、徳川家康軍のど真ん中に突撃し、敵中突破した鬼島津こと島津義弘、九州の覇王、島津義久ら、島津四兄弟の父親の島津貴久に謁見しにフランシスコ・ザビエルは伊集院城にご訪問された。

伊集院城は、九州をほぼ制覇した島津四兄弟が過ごしていた父親の島津貴久の居城である。 日本史上最初に鉄砲を合戦使用した伊集院忠朗は島津貴久の筆頭家老。 島津四兄弟が九州をほぼ制覇した時の起点となったお城です🎎 皇室、日本最高歌人の「紀貫之」の血筋の伊集院時清が築城🏔️ 「紀貫之」とは、古今和歌集、日本最古の日記の土佐日記、百人一首のあの「紀貫之」です。 伊集院城跡地(一宇治城)には、フランシスコ・ザビエル像👤と島津貴久との会見石碑が建立されている。 フランシスコ・ザビエルは日本で初めてキリスト教をこの伊集院城にて布教する。 1549年9月29日のこと。

JR伊集院駅前には、戦国最強武将、島津義弘の銅像が建立されている。 漫画《ドリフターズ》の島津豊久も有名。 伊集院駅周辺には西郷隆盛の末裔、西郷隆文が陶作されている『日置南洲窯』や、天皇陛下が装飾され、司馬遼太郎の小説の主人公となった薩摩焼の元祖〔沈壽官〕が佇んでいる。 又、伊集院駅周辺には日本史上、最初のキリスト教徒でザビエルの翻訳者、案内人のヤジロウの墓がある。 まさに、日本のキリスト教の発祥地🏯

世界遺産の長崎の大浦天主堂は、現存されている教会としては日本最古の教会である。が、 実は、1865年に竣工されており、 1549年、日本最初にキリスト教が布教された伊集院城の方が316年もキリスト教が古い✨ 伊集院城は1190年に築城されていて、お城自体は675年も古い! 伊集院という地名は西暦700年代の奈良時代には既に誕生していて、1300年の歴史と伝統がある。 漫画、ドラマ、映画化された《はいからさんが通る》《執事...

The entrance fee is 1000 yen, which is quite pricey, but do come here if you want to learn more about the history of Christianity in Japan! There's a lot of interesting facts about the growth of Christianity and how that affects many aspects of Japanese culture.

No need to worry about not being able to read Japanese, they provide a good and detailed brochure in English about this place, and related information regarding the subject...

The oldest church in Nagasaki built in 1965 as dedication to 26 martyrs of Japan. A beautiful exterior with very much european style. It has the statue of Our Lady of Japan in front of the church. Wooden dominating interior adds the sacred feeling. It's an old painting of 26 martyrs being crucified in one side of the altar. It survived the atomic bomb blast with very much eveeything in tact except for the window glasses.

The history of Christianity in Japan gives hope for the West now. For 150 years, people lived their faith creatively without any clergy. They welcomed the Western clergy back when oppression was over. So the Japanese faith is deeper and older than this Western-styled church.
