Okago Christian Martyrdom Memorial Park
0191-62-2255

At the beginning of the Edo Period, more than 300 people were martyred at Okago. The History of this period of persecution and oppression, the way people protected their faith and noble character, must not be lost but preserved for future generations. Fujisawa town has established this park in order to preserve the history of the Okago Christians, their teachings and their martyrdom for future generations, with the truth told by the people of Okago. We sincerely hope that the Memorial Park and Museums will help to foster a love of local history.

Closed on Teusdays, Dec. 28 through Jan. 4
Cost: 300 yen per adult, 100 yen per student; group fee (20 or more) is 250 yen per adult, 50 yen per student
