Egami Church, quietly nestled within the deep green forests of Naru Island, is a component of the World Cultural Heritage site that conveys the history of Hidden Christians to the present, and is praised as one of the most beautiful wooden churches in Japan. Its elegant appearance, with a cream-colored exterior wall accented by light blue window frames, is as charming as a fairy-tale world, harmonizing flawlessly with the surrounding whispers of trees and songs of birds. Built raised off the ground to prevent moisture and featuring warm hand-painted stained-glass-style windows, the history of intense passion and prayer built by hand by impoverished believers deeply touches the hearts of travelers worldwide. It is a supreme sanctuary to touch pure spirituality and purify your heart in profound silence.
