Unzen Tourism Bureau

The Shimabara Peninsula lies almost in the center of Kyushu. Unzen City is located on an island-like land that condenses the charm of the sea and mountains and nature that changes with the seasons, with Mount Unzen at its center. Look up and you'll see the mountainside enveloped in vibrant nature. As you walk, steam wraps around your body. Casual conversations begin with a greeting. The blessings of the volcano, which attracts faith, bring you vibrant natural beauty and the warm everyday lives of people that you won't find anywhere else. We will introduce you to the charms of Unzen, which deepen with each walk and each experience.
