Imochiura Church

Imochiura Church (カトリック井持浦教会) is a beautiful brick church located in the far south of Fukue Island. Surrounded by a peaceful garden, it features a statue of Our Lady of Lourdes next to a spring, a familiar sight among many churches in the region.

What makes Imochiura Church truly special is that its Lourdes statue is believed to be the very first of its kind in Japan. This historic and serene setting offers visitors a wonderful mix of spirituality, history, and charming island scenery.
