Nagasaki Prefecture’s religious landscape reflects a unique fusion of global and local traditions. This collection features UNESCO-listed Catholic sites like Oura Church, which commemorates the 26 martyrs, and Urakami Cathedral, rebuilt after the atomic bombing. It includes Zen Buddhist temples founded by Chinese monks in the 17th century and Shinto shrines like Watatsumi, known for its marine torii gates. From the brick architecture of Hirado to the hidden Christian heritage of the Goto Islands and the Iki Shikoku pilgrimage, these sites represent centuries of spiritual resilience.
