EGAMI CHURCH

【WORLD HERTAGE SITE】Egami Church is located near the western end of Narushima Island in Nakagoto, and About 15 minutes by car from Naru Port. The Gospel of Christianity is preached to the Goto Islands at the end of the Warring States period, but it has been cut off due to a ban. After that, hidden Christians moved there in the end of Edo era. The current wooden church by Yosuke Tetsukawa was completed in 1918. The cream-colored outer wall and the blue window frame are surrounded by greenery and are very beautiful. It is one of the most organized wooden churches built in Nagasaki since the 19th century.
