The Reisui Church, located in Shin-Kamigoto Town, Nagasaki Prefecture, is a charming wooden church designed by Tetsukawa Yosuke, a pioneer in church architecture. Completed in 1907, it's known as his first independent design. The church features a simple yet endearing exterior with a pointed roof and a cozy interior with stained glass windows that cast colorful light. Situated on a hill overlooking Nama Bay, it offers a serene atmosphere and a glimpse into the history of Christianity in the Goto Islands. It's easily accessible by car and makes a worthwhile stop when visiting the nearby Yagatame Park. The church is a testament to the faith of the community and the architectural talent of Tetsukawa Yosuke.
