Unzen Church

 

The Church is dedicated to Antonio Ishida and others who were martyred in the Unzen jigoku

from 1627 to 1632 and was built in 1982 to commemorate Pope John Paul II’s visit to Nagasaki.

 

The number of believers in the church is small, but many pilgrims visit, since it is

also a place of martyrdom.
