In 1868, the Meiji government, which continued the religious prohibition policy establish during the Edo period,captured and cruelly tortured religious believers on Hisaka Island. 200 people were forced into a tiny jail the size of 12 tatami mats. 42 people lost their lives as a result of the intense torture that they had to endure. Inside the Royanosako Martry Memorial Church,you'll notice that the carpet on the floor is color-coded in order to show the size of the prison and remind us of the suffering that occured at this location.

Originally built in 1881, the former Hamawaki Church was dismantled in 1931 and reconstructed in the Gorin district of Hisaka Island.  
Left deteriorated and on the verge of destruction, the edifice was saved by the help provided by the local Buddhist community. Property of the church was transferred over to Goto City, in order to preserve it as a significant cultural property. 
Gorin district is remote and can’t be accessed directly by car from central Hisaka. 
The church is a registered UNESCO World Heritage Site, as part of the “Villages on Hisaka Island” belonging to the “Hidden Christian Sites in the Nagasaki Region”.
