Shingō
7.2
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Shingo is famous in Japan's folk mythology circles for the 'Tomb of Jesus Christ' — a local legend claiming Jesus survived the crucifixion and settled in this village, which draws curious domestic tourists. The village itself is small and agricultural, and the tourist infrastructure around the 'Christ tomb' is very modest. The story creates brief social openings with curious visitors, but the permanent population has zero social scene for outsiders. Visit for the bizarre mythology; leave the same day.
Lower score (below 6)
Shingo is a tiny agricultural village whose only claim to fame is a disputed folk legend about Jesus Christ dying there instead of Jerusalem. The tourist infrastructure for this curiosity is minimal and the actual social scene is nonexistent. A foreign man here is the second most exotic thing in town, after the supposed tomb. Not a destination for social purposes.
