The Immanuel migration group settled in1891 to Imakane and aimed to establish a Christian village. It is very characteristic that this settlement was done in partnership with two different Christian denominations, namely Anglican and Presbyterian. A leader of the Presbyterian group was Tsunesaburo Amanuma. His descendants, the Amanuma family own some basic documents which were written by him. In these documents the details of the Anglicangroup's migration are described. The existing studies on this group ignored these documents and depended exclusively on indirect historical materials and hearsay. This paper aimed to correct the existing view of the previous studies by the decipherment of these basic documents to reconstruct the historical facts.
