Overview of your Amakusa shimo shima tour:

In the 17th Century, Christianity flourished in Amakusa. It is known as a home to "Hidden Christians". Since then devoted Christians in Amakusa have transmitted their belief from generation to generation even under harsh persecution which lasted about 240 years. I am passionate about insightful tour to know about the history of the Hidden Christians visiting Sakitsu Village, which is a part of UNESCO World Cultural Heritage. I would like to tell you why they stick to the belief even though they would be killed for that and how they survive. By international standard, churches in Amakusa are small and simple. But it is said that there are no Christians in the world who overcome 240 year persecution like the ones in Amkusa and neighboring Nagasaki did. Some of my travelers from West have found some similarities in the relics of those Christians with the ones in France, which made them so impressed. Why don't you visit this village and to know how Christianity was protected by the local people?
