Arima Christian Heritage Memorial Museum
The Arima Christian Heritage Memorial Museum is a guidance facility showcasing
the history of Christianity in Minami-Shimabara, centered around the Hara Castle Ruins,
a component of the “Hidden Christian Sites in the Nagasaki Region,” which was
registered as a World Heritage Site in 2018. The museum offers easy-to-understand
explanations of the Hinoe Castle Ruins, which represent the period from the introduction
of Christianity to its prosperity, as well as the history of Christian persecution and the
Shimabara Rebellion.
The exhibits primarily feature videos, historical documents from both within and outside
Japan, and artifacts unearthed during excavations.
