The history of Mizunoura Christians is said to have started when five men from Sotome (located north of Nagasaki City) moved there together with their families in 1797 as part of the Goto and Omura feudal domains policies. 

A first church was built in 1880 but didn’t last long and deteriorated quickly. The church was rebuilt into its current appearance in 1938 by famed architect Yosuke Tetsukawa. 

The lilywhite wooden church, a masterful mix of Romanesque, Gothic and Japanese architecture, is the biggest wooden church in Goto, and the contrast between its white spire and the blue of the seas seems to come right out of a postcard.

The hill behind the church features a statue of St John Soan de Goto and remains of a prison from the ban on Christianity era. 

Kishikumachi-Shiraishi was the last port of call of the ships carrying envoys to Tang China. It is said that the ships were moored to this small Tomozuna stone when they entered port for repairs, food supplies, and to wait for favorable winds. In tribute to the exploits of the envoys who risked their lives, a small local shrine was constructed and the stone enshrined as a deity of fishing and safety at sea.

The small building housing the Tomozuna Stone receives offerings of flowers, and is still carefully looked after by the local people today.

Inside this park stands an observation platform created in the image of the ships that carried envoys to Tang China, which has become a symbol of the park. There is also a stone monument with a verse from the Manyoshu ("Collection of Ten Thousand Leaves"), an ancient collection of Japanese poetry. Enjoy a world of myriad leaves here.

This facility features an exhibit about Goto's role in the Japanese missions to Tang China. There is a souvenir shop and a restaurant that offers many dishes with local ingredients. 

This lighthouse is around 15 m tall, and stands in the west of the Miiraku Peninsula, an area connected to the final port of call in Japan of the ships carrying envoys to Tang China. The coastal area and ocean stretching from Takasakibana in Miirakucho to Kashiwazaki and Nagasakibana has been designated as Japan Heritage. You can see the lighthouse as you travel from Fuchinomoto Catholic Graveyard toward Takahama Beach.
*Be cautious when driving here as the road is narrow.

Mimiraku-no-shima Peninsula was the final port stop of the ships carrying envoys to Tang China across the East China Sea. The characters “辞本涯” (Jihongai) are inscribed on the monument here, meaning “departing the furthest edge of Japan.”

Takahama Beach boasts some of the whitest sand and clearest water in Japan. It is not only one of the best-known beaches on the Goto Islands, but also listed as one of Japan’s Top 100 Beaches, and Top 88 Swimming Beaches! This beautiful beach is popular with locals and tourists alike, attracting holidaymakers from all over the country.

The west-facing beach overlooks the Sagano Island and has a wide sandbar that provides a calm shallow swimming area. Silver sand sparkles through the clear water, and the surrounding greenery completes the perfect coastal escape.

For a view of the beach in its entirety, head to “Gyoran Kannon Observatory” (a three-minute drive from the beach) where you can catch a glimpse of the brilliant shades of blue as they change and deepen throughout the day.
