A church that stands on a small hill, almost in the center of that Nozaki Island. Seventeen hidden Christians in the Nokashu settlement, who kept their faith during the Prohibition period, erected their first wooden church in 1883. The present church was completed in 1908. It was designed and constructed by Tosuke Tetsukawa, known for its church architecture, and was made of brick with a rib vault ceiling. Although the exterior and structure are Western-style, traditional Japanese building techniques are also used, such as the use of bamboo and rope in the framework of the wall to give a plaster finish. The last devotees left the island in 1971, and Oshunga town was later renovated. It has become a designated tangible cultural property in Nagasaki Prefecture, telling the story of the life and faith of the former islanders. To travel to the island, contact the Oka Island Tourism Association in advance, and make sure to stop at the Noshimazaki Visitor Center after landing.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":83150,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[75],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-149841","travelpost","type-travelpost","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-spot"],"blocksy_meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travelpost\/149841","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travelpost"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/travelpost"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travelpost\/149841\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/83150"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=149841"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=149841"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=149841"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
