Handomari Church 半泊教会

A church constructed beside a cove in the Handomari area.

One theory suggests that half of the people who came here across the sea, fleeing the oppression of Christianity, settled in the Handomari area, while the other half settled elsewhere.
This church was built in 1922, thanks to a donation from Ireland and the hard work of poor believers. The building is made of wood, creating a church with a neat sense of freshness.
