A Catholic church nestled in Mii-raku Town in the Goto Islands, one of several Christian heritage churches scattered throughout Goto. The grounds feature a prayer space modeled after the Grotto of Lourdes, with white-walled sacred space, blue sky, and surrounding greenery creating a landscape of serene beauty. It has served both as a place of worship and as a cultural heritage preserving local history. Visiting in the morning before the beach allows you to spend a peaceful moment fitting for the start of the day ahead. Hold hands quietly with your child and pray for safe travels.
Tips
Remember this is a place of worship and keep conversations quiet. Refrain from taking photos inside the sanctuary and focus on exterior and garden views. Parking access is convenient and it's an easy stop even for a short visit.
Best time to visit
