A group of silent gravestones that tell the history of Goto

The "Fuchinomoto Catholic Gravestones" symbolize the Christian culture of the Goto Islands. This is a historic place where the gravestones of people who continued to practice their faith despite the ban on Christianity during the Edo period are lined up. Even today, many people visit this spot to quietly remember the evidence of their ancestors' faith.

In particular, the sight of the moss-covered gravestones and crosses lined up creates a mystical atmosphere as if time had stopped. The gravestones are engraved with evidence that Christians at the time secretly continued their faith, allowing you to reflect on their history. When visiting, it is a place you should walk quietly and respectfully.
