Yamano Church, in Hirado

 

Yamano Church was built in 1924 in the Yamano area, where is halfway

of Mount Yasuman. Most people living in this area are Christians.

 

The ancestors of the Yamano village fled persecution from Nishisonogi

and Sotome to Goto island during ban on Christianity.

However, they were unable to live on Goto island, so they moved to

this area of Hirado Island between 1820 and 1830.
