Amakusa Rosario Museum

天草ロザリオ館

Kumamoto · Kyushu

A 1933 hidden-Christian artifact museum built alongside Oe Church by Father Frédéric Louis Garnier, housing rosaries, medals, and other Kirishitan relics recovered from the region.

Why we picked it

Sits right next to Oe Church but is easy to miss — a small, quiet museum with genuine period artifacts rather than a recreated attraction.
