Kyushu's Sacred Sites

Kyushu’s religious landscape features ancient Shinto shrines like the 8th-century Kushida Shrine and UNESCO-listed Munakata Taisha, alongside Buddhist landmarks such as the Zen temple Kofukuji. The region's unique history is preserved in Nagasaki’s Oura Cathedral and the brick architecture of Tabira Church. From the cave-set Udo-jingu to the record-breaking 3,333 stone steps leading to Shakain, these sites reflect a blend of indigenous beliefs, continental influences, and the heritage of hidden Christian communities.
