  • Dozaki Church is the oldest church in the Goto Islands in offshore Fukue, Goto in Nagasaki Prefecture and was built by French missionaries. It now serves a museum displaying historical documents relating to Christians and the 300-year period of suppression of Christianity.  In 1879, a temporary chapel was constructed here by Father Marmand of the Paris Foreign Mission Society which became the focus for missionary activities on the Goto Islands after the oppression of Christianity ended.  The church was designed and built by Tetsukawa Yosuke.  At the age of 20, he participated in the construction of Catholic churches across the Goto Islands at first as a gifted carpenter. He went on to study architecture and joined the Architectural Institute of Japan. Although a Buddhist he was sensitive to the sentiments of Catholics by designing and building beautiful churches across Kyushu.

  • Former Gorin Church is a restoration of Hamawaki Church which was built in 1881 and the second oldest wooden church after Oura Church in Nagasaki. In 1931 Hamawaki Church was reconstructed with a larger space. The dismantled materials were used for the construction of a church in the Gorin district. The restored church uses a rare combination of Japanese and Western construction methods.  It has an outer appearance of a traditional Japanese building but an interior consisting of a nave boarded rib vault ceilings.  It is no longer a church, but maintained by Goto City, and is a part of the UNESCO World Heritage Nagasaki Hidden Christian sites.
