Fuchinomoto Catholic Cemetary, Goto - On the northwestern edge of the Miiraku Peninsula on Fukue Goto Island, the catholic cemetary has tombstones at the Fuchinomoto cemetery overlooking the sea, reflecting the deep Christian faith of the people buried there, when christianity was outlawed in Japan and hidden christians had to practice their faith in secret. Hidden Christians who had migrated from Sotome were finally laid to rest here.
