Religious Heritage of Nagasaki

Nagasaki’s religious landscape reflects its unique history as Japan's primary gateway to the world. This collection features the UNESCO-listed Oura Catholic Church, the oldest in Japan, alongside the Urakami Cathedral, rebuilt after the 1945 atomic bombing. The list also includes Kofukuji, the first Obaku Zen temple founded by Chinese merchants, and the Koshi-byo Confucian Shrine. These sites represent the intersection of Hidden Christian heritage, Chinese Buddhist traditions, and international cultural exchange within this historic port city.
