The Amakusa islands consist of 120 islands located in the west of Kumamoto (2.5 hours drive from Kumamoto City). There are several spots relating to Christian sites on the west coast of the main island, Shimoshima. Recently designated by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage, and known as the "Hidden Christin sites in the Nagasaki Region. " Catholicism was introduced here in the 16th century in the Age of Exploration. However, the government banned Christianity in the early 17th century. Christians here hid their beliefs, despite the severe oppression and merciless persecution, continuing to practice their faith underground for over 250 years! How could they hide their faith for so long? I want to show you the stories behind the history of Hidden Christians in Amakusa. Also, we will visit some attractive local spots and photogenic sites of the National Park. A National Licensed guide who was born and raised in Amakusa will show you around with the guide's private car.
