Gourmet islands on the sea

The Goto Islands can be reached from the Nagasaki Prefecture mainland in around 1 hour and 30 minutes by boat.
Made up of the 4 main islands Fukue Island, Nakadori Island, Uku Island, and Odika Island, as well as various other islands, the Goto Islands are known as gourmet islands on the sea because their complex topography produces a rich variety of seafood. Besides seafood, long ago the Goto Islands were also a key maritime location that played an important role in transmitting continental culture from China.
When the Japanese sent missions to Tang China, they learned about the culture of noodles and “Goto udon” was created. This historical tradition of food culture has continued to modern times. The Goto Islands have many famous products such as boxfish, and traditional dishes such as Goto udon and iriyaki. Why not take a trip with your family or group to experience the food culture rooted in these islands?

Islands of prayer

christians

Long ago, believers crossed the sea to the Goto Islands to escape persecution of Christianity, which was a forbidden religion in Japan.
They left the trail of their prayers behind in churches and stone statues that tell their history.
Goto City and other municipalities are working to have these sites registered as cultural heritage sites to transmit this history to the next generation. The thoughts of the people call to others, telling the truth of history. Take a trip to the churches scattered across the Goto Islands.
