8-Day Christian Pilgrimage: The Grand Tour of Nagasaki & Amakusa

 

Starting with the mission of Francis Xavier, Christianity expanded throughout the country,

with Nagasaki at its heart. Even during the prohibition of Christianity, faith remained

strong in Hirado, Sotome, Shimabara, Unzen, and Amakusa.

This legacy, however, is inseparable from a profound and solemn history of martyrdom. 

 

This comprehensive 8-day journey spans the historic landscapes of Nagasaki and Amakusa,
offering an unparalleled exploration of Japan’s Christian heritage. From the early missions
to the long years of hidden faith, this tour reveals the full, awe-inspiring story of a devotion
that survived against all odds

Tour leader

 

Experienced Tour leader escorts your group in accordance with the tour itinerary.

 

Escort clients, performing meet & greet, assisting clients, regulate and manage the

timing of a group, ensure the presence and involvement of the participants, verify and

confirm facilities and services, provide and explain the travel program, make sure that

the group works in harmony, provide information on the places you intend to visit,

manage any excursions, buy tickets for tourist attractions or means of transport, manage

reservations with restaurants and accommodation facilities, resolve any problems that

may arise during the tour.

 

So a professional tour leader is not a guide (and cannot therefore provide strictly historical

explanations in the specific places), but can provide general information of any kind, and

give the most complete assistance to customers while staying with you.
