	Tsushima Island Summary
		Tsushima Island is located wholly in the Korea Strait, east and southeast of the Korean Peninsula and between the Japanese mainland due west of the Kanmon Strait which divides Honshu from Kyushu, and which also connects the Korea Strait to the Inland Sea.
		Tsushima is the closest Japanese territory to Korea, lying only fifty kilometres from Pusan; on a clear day, the hills and mountains of Korea are visible from higher elevations on the two northern mountains.
		Archeological evidence suggests that Tsushima was already inhabited by settlers from the Korean peninsula and Japanese archipelago from the Jomon period to the Kofun period.

		In the territory of the present Diocese of Nagasaki 137 churches of the Jesuits were demolished, as well as their college in Amakusa and their seminary in Arima.
