This small house near Nagasaki Peace Park is the former residence of Dr. Nagai, who treated many patients suffering from the atomic bomb explosion. Himself suffering from radiation sickness and leukemia even before the bomb, he remained bedridden for the last few years of his life in this hermitage, where he wrote many books and essays. Himself a devout Catholic, many of Nagai's books are inspired by his faith, as was the name of the hermitage.
