  1. Francis Xavier was not permitted to enter any port his ship arrived at until 15 August 1549, when he went ashore at Kagoshima. He travelled with Anjirō, a Japanese man he had met in Malacca. The landing was on the coast of Gionnosu, now part of the city. Anjirō's family hosted Xavier until October 1550. Today Gionnosu is an urban district of Kagoshima.

  2. On 29 September 1549 Shimazu Takahisa gave Xavier a friendly reception. One account says they met in Ijyuin Castle. Takahisa had been the first daimyō to bring firearms into Japan. The welcome did not last: the following year he forbade his subjects to convert to Christianity under penalty of death.

  3. Hirado was one of the places where Xavier's Japan stay bore fruit: he left congregations established there, as well as in Yamaguchi and Bungo. The town was already a port for foreign trade, and its role in that trade increased. This stop marks the town as a whole, not a single church or site.

  4. After staying in Yamaguchi from October to December 1550, Xavier left shortly before Christmas for Kyoto. The trip did not go as planned: he failed to meet Emperor Go-Nara. The pin marks the Kyoto Imperial Palace as a general marker for the city; where Xavier actually went in Kyoto is not recorded.

  5. Xavier returned to Yamaguchi in March 1551, this time presenting himself before the ruler of Nagate with letters and presents, including a musical instrument and a watch. The daimyō of the province then gave him permission to preach, and Yamaguchi became one of the places where he left a congregation. The city lists a Yamaguchi Xavier Memorial Church among its local attractions.

Nakasendō: Magome, Tsumago and the Kiso Valley

The Nakasendō is the old "Central Mountain Route" between Edo and Kyoto, and its best-known stretch runs through the Kiso Valley, from Narai-juku to Tsumago and Magome in Nagano and Gifu. This route follows six stops west along the Kisoji, the valley road that became part of the Nakasendō: the highest post town, a checkpoint, a town rebuilt after a flood, and two villages restored so well that you can still walk the road between them. Station numbers are counted from Edo.
