This museum is located at the top of a hill so if you are not a good walker I suggest a taxi. There is an escalator from the parking lot. Inside you are invted to watch a video. There is even one in english!! This is mostly the history of Christianity in Japan and the Shimabara rebellion. Very nicely done up.
