Catholic pilgrimage in Japan's Goto Islands
About Goto Pilgrim Tours
We welcome Catholic pilgrims from around the world to encounter the living faith of the Goto Islands — a faith preserved through silence, sacrifice, and prayer.
Who we are
A local pilgrimage company rooted in Goto
We are a Catholic pilgrimage travel agency based in the Goto Islands of Nagasaki, Japan. Deeply connected to this land and its story, our mission is to welcome pilgrims who wish to encounter the legacy of the Hidden Christians and the faith that continues to shape these islands today.
The legacy we carry
Faith preserved for centuries
For more than two hundred years, Catholics in the Goto region preserved their faith in secret under persecution.
Their quiet courage, steadfast prayer, and enduring traditions left a spiritual heritage unlike any other. Today, churches, sacred sites, and local communities continue to carry that memory forward.
The faith was preserved for centuries. Now it needs friends.
