The Aokata Church, rebuilt in 2000, serves as the Catholic center for the Kamigoto area. Located in the heart of Aokata, a central hub on Kamigoto Island with a general hospital and welfare center, this modern concrete structure might initially be mistaken for a government building. Inside, visitors will find a spacious interior adorned with beautiful stained glass depictions of Christ and the Virgin Mary. Easily accessible from Arikawa Port by car (20 minutes), the Aokata Church offers a unique architectural experience amidst the natural beauty of the Goto Islands.
