Christian Pilgrimage Tour of Nagasaki Region
Christianity was introduced to Japan by Francis Xavier in 1549 and spread primarily
throughout the Nagasaki region. However, the Shogunate later issued a ban on
Christianity, forcing many believers to practice their faith in secret, which led to a long
history of martyrdom in various locations. Finally, in 1873, the ban was lifted, marking
the beginning of a new chapter in the history of Japanese Christianity.
