    are you praying for the safety of fishing?

    Original Text

     A little further from the Sakitsu Catholic Church in the back of the deep cove toward the open sea, I saw a "Maria statue on the sea" on the rocky area beyond the quay. The white statue of Mary at the tip of a cliff-like rocky area faces the sea. It looked like praying for the safety of fishermen who lived here.

     This statue of Mary was built on a rock near the sea, which was hundreds of m from the Sakitsu Catholic Church to the exit of the cove. We saw it from near the Kintsu market, but it's about 300m away from there, so it looks only small. After that, I ran on the road around the cape, but it seems that there is no place to see it nearby from land. I think you are watching over the fishermen passing by boat here.

    It's too small to understand.

    Visited on 2 Moon 19 Day Visited on Amakusa Tour Bus B Course. It is recommended because the guide is also surprisingly cheap 1000 yen. I went back and forth between the Sakitsu village, but it was a little too far and I could only see it small. It's a size that can only be said that if you are called Maria, that may be the case. What you believe is saved. Is it that what you don't believe is just that? Every time a local fisherman is in the dormitory, Maria ...

    Maria statue watching over the safety of the sea

    Original Text

    It is a statue of Mary near the Sakitsu village of the World Heritage Site "Hidden Christian". Of course, under the prohibition of teaching, there is no statue, and he worships ordinary things such as shells and rocks as objects of worship. It was also a signpost for believers, fishermen and sailors, and was gently watching over. It seems that there will be no marine accidents since this was completed.

    maria far from the fishing port.

    Original Text

    You can see the statue of Maria from the Kintsu Market and the fishing port. You can't actually see it up close. It seems that the sunset time is recommended. You can't see Maria's face because you can only see it from a distance. I just recognize that there is a statue over there. It seems that you have to get on a boat to see it nearby, but I don't think you have to do that.
