  We are a travel agency in Fukuoka specializing in Kyushu, Japan. This information is provided by Japan KYUSHU Tourist to support your journey.        During the period of the Southern and Northern Courts (1337-92), the Arima family ruling the Shimabara Peninsula constructed a castle named Hinoe-jo. The 14th lord, Harunobu (1567-1612) was a Christian daimyo and refurbished his castle into a large scale which had gardens, a tea arbor and many rooms.     There remain stone walls around the site of the front gate. A recent survey reveals that the construction materials including the stone steps were diverted from tombstones in Buddhist grave-yards which the lord had demolished. The fact indicates the religious situation in those days when Christianity was flourishing. In 1982, the location of the ruined castle was designated as a National Historic Site.
