Christian Pilgrimage tours in Nagasaki region

  • Nagasaki / Oura Cathedral

 

Japan’s indigenous religion is Shinto. It is an ethnic religion that has continued from

Japan’s ancient times to the present day, and has permeated all aspects of Japanese

life and culture, and has the energy to accept foreign cultures including religions and

transform them into a Japanese style.

Japanese Buddhism was introduced through China in the 5th century and is a religion

that has now been incorporated into Japanese life along with Shinto.

 

Christian history in Japan was started when St. Francis Xavier came to Japan as a

first Christian missionary in 1549.

And Japanese Christianity has a unique history of continuing faith while coexisting 

with Japanese Religion Shinto and General society.

 

The tour visits Christian Pilgrimage sites including Martyrdom sites while

introducing the following:

How did Japan, whose main religion is Shinto, accept Christianity?

Why did Christianity spread in and around Nagasaki?

Why did Japan ban Christianity even though once accepted it?

How did Christians continue their faith during the ban period?

What kind of oppression and martyrdom took place during the ban on Christianity?
