Shingō (新郷村; -mura) is a village located in Sannohe District, Aomori, Japan.

As of 2003, the village has an estimated population of 3,201 and a density of 21.22 persons per km˛. The total area is 150.85 km˛.

The town claims to be the last resting-place of Jesus, buried in the "Tomb of Jesus." According to the local lore, Jesus did not die on the cross at Golgotha. Instead his brother, Isukiri,[1] took his place on the cross, while Jesus fled across Siberia, Alaska, and finally to Aomori, Shingo, Japan, where he became a rice farmer, married, and raised a family. [2] [3] While no evidence exists to prove this claim, the town that calls itself Home of Christ (キリストの里, Kirisuto no Sato) is certainly home to some creative entrepreneurs doing a brisk business selling memorabilia and Jesus souvenirs to the large number of tourists. Another tomb in Shingo is said to contain an ear of the brother of Jesus and a lock of hair from the Virgin Mary. The claims started in 1933 after the discovery of supposed "ancient Hebrew documents detailing Jesus' life and death in Japan" [4] that was supposedly the testament of Jesus. These documents were seized by the Japanese authorities and taken to Tokyo shortly before World War II and have not been seen since.[5]
