Unzen: History and Adventure amid Natural Wonders

Welcome to Unzen, one of Japan’s first and finest national parks, where a whole host of activities is available to fill your days and nights. Most travelers begin their visit with a stroll around the bubbling, boiling sites of volcanic activity that are warmly referred to by the local people as jigoku, or “hells.” Trailheads that lead to the top of several nearby peaks start in town, or a short drive away, and the routes range from family-friendly strolls and picnic spots to intermediate-level, full-day climbs of rocky summits. Many visitors also choose to soak their cares away by immersing themselves in the “hell”-heated hot spring baths. These can be found in all the local hotels, as well as several quaint public spas, and the mineral-laden hot water is believed to have health benefits and relaxing properties.

Unzen is a location of natural beauty year-round. It is part of the Unzen Volcanic Area UNESCO Global Geopark, centered around a volcano that has been active for half a million years. In the spring, a wide variety of azalea blossoms blanket the mountain slopes in pink, and the Japanese dogwood trees turn the slopes white in early summer. The natural forest means spectacular bursts of color in the fall, and in the winter, the rare phenomenon of rime ice forms on the forest trees, glittering diamond-like in the sunlight.

Unzen has long been a favored destination for visitors since the priest Gyoki established the Manmyoji Temple in 701. It gained international renown in the Meiji period (1868–1912), when visitors from other parts of Japan and Asia would use the town of Unzen Onsen and its surroundings as a cool highland getaway from the oppressive summer heat.

Today, Unzen continues to appeal to international travelers and Japanese looking for mountain adventures, historical appeal and a very unique, mysterious landscape.
