Fuchinomoto Catholic Graveyard 渕ノ元カトリック墓碑群

A Catholic graveyard facing the East China Sea

In 1776, 78 people from 14 farming families across the sea moved to Fuchinomoto in Miiraku Village in the hope of settling there. The Catholic graveyard in Fuchinomoto, standing in a corner of the grasslands facing the East China Sea, is the graveyard of the local Christians. It offers a mysteriously beautiful spectacle at sunset, when the orange sun sinks behind the Virgin Mary and the gravestones. Beyond the graveyard lies the East China Sea, where the ships carrying envoys to Tang China sailed, and you can see Sagano Island from here.
