According to the account in the Christ Museum next to the tombs, Christ arrived in Japan at the age of 21 and learnt Japanese before returning to Judaea 12 years later to engage in his mission and preach about the holy land of Japan. The official Shingo history is that Jesuss place on the Cross was casually taken by his brother, leaving Christ free to return to Japan. On his return he fell in love with Miyuko, a local girl, and lived happily with his family among the rice fields until dying aged 106. Ping to read thru the comments later!

I've read it. It's good -- very reverent and faithful to the texts. I think the Baptists in Japan put it out.
My guess is that this "tomb" is just a local tourist trap -- a Japanese version of "World's Largest Ball of Twine" or "See Rock City".

For two millennia the farming village of Shingo claims to have protected a tradition that Jesus spent most of his life in Japan.And here I thought he went to Heaven.
Guess I'll have to do some re-thinking! *Not!* ; )

They also have the skull of Christopher Columbus, and a smaller skull of Christopher Columbus as a child. OK now THAT's funny.

It doesn't matter exactly where Jesus's tomb is.
What matters is that the tomb is empty.

Mr Sawaguchi emerged as Jesuss heir only in 1935, when a priest in Ibaraki discovered a document in ancient Japanese purporting to be Christs will. A document which the locals refer to as the dowichiko...

This can't be true; everyone knows Jesus is buried in Kashmir. (sarcasm)
To: docbnj
True, but they are not saying it's empty. They say he lived to 106, and is apparently buried there.
I don't think so.....

My first wife used to swear that she had heard late night radio ads on a station in Del Rio, Texas advertising "an autographed portrait of Jesus Christ".
