Situated in the northeastern part of Fukue Island and wrapped by a peaceful, beautiful inlet and rich greenery, the peaceful settlement "Okuura" is delightful. Having been a silent haven where Hidden Christians once relocated to escape official scrutiny and hid their presence while powerfully keeping faith alive, a profound history breathes deeply within this territory today. Located along the shoreline of this area sits the historic "Dozaki Church" built with beautiful red brick architecture; the spectacular layout where the blue sea, green forests, and solemn presence of the church intertwine is sacred in its beauty, leaving you wordless. Stepping away from the vibrancy of tourist centers to quietly trace the footsteps of ancestors' prayers with refreshing sea breezes gently comforts a tired mind and body, letting you recover deep inner tranquility.
