Akabae Church stands on the side of a steep-sloped mountain, overlooking the Goto Sea. In the 1870s, Akabae was a christian village of only a few households, but was home to the missionaries Osera Sogoro, Akabae Sukesaku, and Akabae Kita who were active in the surrounding Christian villages. The current Akabae also only has a few households, but the church remains an important place of prayer for its followers.


<Note>
Churches are very important places of prayer for their followers. When observing churches, please follow proper etiquette such that everyone can feel comfortable in the churches. A guide for church etiquette can be found here.
