Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is located near a very small fishing port of Hisaka Island, and was originally built in 1881 and restored in 1931 at the present site. Masses are held in a new one next to this.
This old wooden church looked like a traditional Japanese house, but indoors we felt it Western-church-designed like Rib Vault ceilings, two aisles, or a nave, and horizontal sliding windows looked unique.
This former church is on the list of World Heritage and was designated as a Japanese national cultural asset.
I strongly recommend a guided cruise tour from Nakadori Island or Fukue Island due to its inconvenience of transportation by road.
Offerings are welcomed, and try not to keep your shoes on inside.

Incredible stories of earnest devotion of Catholic Christians (Jesuits) and their lives through 17-19th Centuries. Architecture if classic Japanese on Outside and Gothic/European on the inside. Only accessible by boat so guide/tour is essential. Just a museum/time capsule in history as the Church is up for World Heritage Status. Prayers for the Church in Japan. Good luck and enjoy!
