Nakadori Island Churches

Kashiragashima Church is Nagasaki’s only stone church, a World Heritage Site that tells the moving story of hidden Christians and their enduring faith.

Nakanoura Church is a charming 1925 wooden church with camellia paintings inside and a peaceful Lourdes grotto outside, set by a quiet inlet on Nakadori Island.

Tainoura Church tells a powerful story through its historic bell tower built with atomic-bombed bricks, alongside a new building where services are still held today.

Oso Church is a peaceful brick church from 1916 with a beautiful octagon-shaped bell tower and lovely views over the inlet, perfect for a quiet visit.
