Himosashi Church

Himosashi Church (カトリック紐差教会) is a beautiful Catholic church located on a small hill in the center of Hirado. Built in 1929, it stands as a symbol of the religious freedom restored after the end of the ban on Christianity in Japan. This church is one of several Catholic structures constructed on Hirado during that period, marking the return of Christianity to the island.

With its distinctive architecture and serene location, Himosashi Church provides visitors with a peaceful atmosphere and a glimpse into Japan's religious history. The church’s historical significance, combined with its lovely hilltop position, makes it a notable stop for anyone visiting Hirado.
