Museum of 26 Martyrs of Japan Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
During the reign of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, 6 Spanish Christian missionaries and 20 Japanese believers were executed here due to the oppression of paganism. Later generations erected a monument on the hillside where this religious persecution occurred. The originally inconspicuous hillside has become an internationally renowned pilgrimage destination, attracting a steady stream of visitors. Showa 37 (1962) is the centenary of the martyrdom of 26 saints in history on the Nishizaka hills. For this purpose, the commemorative reliefs of the 26 Japanese saints were built, adjacent to it, and the Saint Philip Nishizaka Church was also built at the same time. . Standing awe-inspiring behind life-size bronze statues of twenty-six saints, the memorial is divided into two themes: "Heirlooms from the Catholic Age" and "Modern Creations Reproducing Their History". The history of Christianity from Sabiere's eastward journey to Japan to the Meiji era. Also on display are the letters of Tensho's youth envoy, Father Julian Nakaura, the letter of Saint Francisco Sabiere to King John III of Portugal, historical records of the Shimabara Rebellion, Mary Kannon, 16th century Bronze Pieta and other materials, as well as frescoes, Japanese paintings, etc.

Not very familiar with the history of the place, similar to a public cemetery, there are more than two dozen Japanese characters buried here, this place is also very worthy of respect, is one of the local very quiet places.
The subway station can be reached in a few minutes, very close to the hotel, and the hotel facilities are also very complete, continue to live here next time on business trip!
Sure enough, this trip is worthwhile. Although there are more people, it can't stand the beauty. The whole process is pleasantly surprised.
Japan's 26 saints are famous for some Buddhist understanding, the religion here is very complicated, there were some foreigners preaching here very early, the way to pray for peace is very special.
In fact, Nagasaki is very contradictory, generally praying for peace, and killing everywhere. This is actually a cemetery. Just dead foreigners, or people invaded by foreign cultures.
