Jesus's direct lineal descendant, Sawaguchi Toyoji, doesn't believe any of it. He's a garlic farmer in a village where no one is a Christian but most adamantly believe is the burial place of Jesus. The burial mound and cross are located on Sawaguchi's property.
The legend has it that Jesus escaped crucifixion when his brother, Iskiri, was executed in his place. After a four year long journey, Jesus arrived in Japan where he settled in Aomori Prefecture at Herai (said to be a shortened form of "heburai," the Japanese word for "Hebrews."). There he married a Japanese woman and had three daughters whose descendants still live in the village which bills itself as "Kirisito no Sato" of "Home of Christ."
