Japanese Christianity

Christianity in Japan has a unique history that is not found anywhere else in the world.

The history of Christianity in Japan began in 1549 when Francis Xavier arrived as the

first missionary. Christianity then spread mainly in the Nagasaki area. However,

Christianity was later banned by the shogunate in 1587, and people continued to practice

their faith in secret. As a result, there is a history of many martyrs in various places.

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

We would like to introduce Japanese Christianity to people all over the world through

Christian Pilgrimage tour.
