Kirishitan (Christian) daimyos, such as Omura Sumitada, Otomo Sorin and Arima Harunobu, sent 4 teenagers to Rome in order to let them learn Christian culture and introduce Japanese culture to Europe. The group brought back the advanced technology and knowledge such as the typography, and contributed the development of Japanese culture. The statues to commemorate those 4 boys were built on the 400th anniversary of their departure at the foot of Mishima Bridge leading to Nagasaki Airport.

Kubizuka Site

At the foot of a Japanese hackberry tree, 500m north of Dozuka Site, heads of 131 martyrs are said to have been buried. The heads and the bodies of the martyrs were buried separately because people were afraid of those body parts connected again through the Christian black art. Now, by the hackberry tree after several generations stands a monument for the martyrs.
