The history of Christianity in Nagasaki, Japan, spans 450 years and is one that deserves to be shared with the world. Entering Japan through Nagasaki, it flourished here more than any other places in the country.
Christianity survived despite a nationwide ban imposed in 1587.
After the lifting of the ban, Christianity flourished once again in the open.
Today, Nagasaki is a destination for many Christian pilgrims as it is home to the largest number of churches in Japan.
