Tabira Church Hill

田平天主堂の丘

Nagasaki · Kyushu

Tabira’s brick church stands on a quiet hill with fields and sea air around it. The setting is peaceful and understated, with strong local history.

Why we picked it

It is outside the more famous Hirado center and not heavily promoted to casual visitors.
