The Twenty-six Martyrs of Japan - 日本26聖人殉教地

This is last pics for Nagasaki trip.

Its very sad place. 26 Christians were executed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. 20 of Japanese, 4 of Spanish, 1 of Portuguese and 1 of Mexican. It said, There were history that Christians burnt down some temples and monks were persecuted by christians. (but Where the Dainyo was a buddhism, christians were persecuted by monks in that area.) One incident occurred such as some Japanese people were sold as slave by foreign businessman and foreign christians. therefore, Toyotomi Hideyoshi granted of banned christian and ejected them from Japan. This is memorial for these 26 christians.

Suwa Shrine - 諏訪神社

I like to visit shrines. Its not exception in Nagasaki as well. There are lots of steps to go up to this shrine. It was really hot day and was so tired walking around steep roads in Nagasaki already. but got great view from up there.

Beautiful huge tree!
