Churches and Cathedrals

 

Nagasaki Port was opened and the first Portuguese ship arrived in 1571. And development

of the town of cape was started as Christian town in 1571 and many Churches were

constructed in Nagasaki. 

However, due to the Tokugawa Shogunate’s Ban on Christianity in 1614, most of the 

church buildings were destroyed. 

Since ban on the Christianity was lifted in 1873, new Christian history in Japan has begun

and many Churches and Cathedrals have been constructed.

 


 

Oura Cathedral, in Nagasaki

The Cathedral is one of the significant Christian Pilgrimage site

in Japan.  Established 1865, this church is officially known as “Oura

Cathedral, the Church of 26 Martyrs.” It was built by the French priest

Bernard Petitjean of Fier who had been dispatched by the Foreign

Missionary Church of Paris to dedicate prayers to the 26 saints

martyred on Nishizaka hill.


 

Urakami Cathedral, in Nagasaki

Construction of the original Urakami Cathedral, a brick Romanesque

building, began in 1895, after a long-standing ban on Christianity was

lifted. When completed in 1914, it was the largest Catholic church in

East Asia.


 

Nakamachi Church, in Nagasaki

The church is located near JR Nagasaki Station which was

constructed for Japanese Christians in 1986.  The church was dedicated

to the 16 Saints of Nagasaki (St. Thomas and the 15 Martyrs) in 1988,

and the monument honoring them was erected in the premise.

The 16 Saints were martyred in Nagasaki from 1633 to 1637.


 

Saint Filippo de Jesus Church ( Japan 26 Saints Memorial Church )

This is a church with Gaudi-style twin tower designed by Kenjiro Imai, 

built next to the Nishizaka Martyrdom site. When there was a plan to

build a memorial hall for the 26 Japanese Saints next to Nishizaka

Martyrdon site, a large donation was made from Mexico, and the

Church was built in 1962.


 

Hongochi Church, Saint Kolbe Museum, in Nagasaki

Father Maximilian Kolbe was born in Poland in 1894 and was a

priest of the Conventual Order of St. Francis. He had been active in

promoting the veneration of the Immaculate Virgin Mary. He came to

Japan in 1930 and began educating seminarians and publishing a

monthly magazine ” the veneration of the Immaculate Virgin Mary.”


 

Shitsu Church, in Sotome

Built in 1882 by Father de Rotz, this low-ceiling church features a brick

exterior, wood interior and stone entranceway.  The roof itself is low in

order to limit damage done by strong winds. The church’s bell was

brought here from France by a priest and rings out beautifully every 

morning.  The location is famous as the place where the movie “Gege”

was filmed.


 

Kurosaki Church, in Sotome

The Church is located in Kurosaki district, where was place of the setting

for  Endo Shusaku’s novel Silence.  In 1897, the foundations were laid

down according to Father de Rotz’s design.

Construction followed and in 1920 the church was completed.

Private Mass Arrangements

 

To make your pilgrimage truly transformative, we offer bespoke support

to arrange the celebration of Holy Mass at historic, sacred cathedrals and

churches along your journey.

by working closely with the local clergy. Our goal is to ensure a deeply

spiritual, stress-free, and seamless experience for your group.

 

Whether you wish to visit a major cathedral or a hidden historic church,

simply tell us your preferences. We will work directly with the local clergy

to make your special Mass arrangement possible.

and church, and we will arrange it for you.
