The captives to be executed were transported in small Japanese boats down from Kyoto through the country's waterways towards Nagasaki.

"And as the Sea of Japan was rough, not only did they have to manage the struggles faced when sailing in small ships, but more particular ones such as storms and other dangers, working them over as was the Lord so as to strengthen them for the time when they would suffer much greater hardships in His name."
(de Ribadeneira, Marcelo, Historia de las islas del Archipiélago Filipino y reinos de la Gran China, Tartaria, Cochinchina, Malaca, Siam, Cambodge y Japón, La Editorial Católica, S.A, Madrid, 1947, p. 334) (personal translation)
