#1 Hidden Christian Sites

The Hidden Christian Sites in the Nagasaki Region bear outstanding witness to Christianity's development within the Nagasaki region in Kyushu. After the introduction of Christianity to Japan in 1542, the religion briefly flourished and was subsequently banned by Japanese leaders. Local devotees known as the Hidden Christians went into hiding where they continued practising their religion secretly. Some sites pertaining to these hidden Christians survive today and some of them received UNESCO World Heritage status. More info: http://kirishitan.jp/en

Events such as old-fashioned rice planting are held regularly to hand down the traditional methods of farming to the younger generation. The water used for irrigation is drawn from the mountains hence only clean natural water is used to grow the rice. More info: http://www.akioota-navi.jp/en/attraction.html
