Historical hot springs resort
Unzen Onsen is a charming hot spring town located in the Shimabara Peninsula. Famed for its seasonal sweeps of color and the natural hot springs that pour from the earth, Unzen Onsen was named Japan's first national park back in 1934. A popular base from which to explore nearby Mt. Unzen , Unzen Onsen is most renowned for its outdoor hot spring fields and healing properties of its sulphuric waters.
Unzen Onsen was quickly established as an onsen town due to the abundance of its hot springs. In the 1910s, Unzen Onsen was further developed as a summer resort due to an influx of non-Japanese visitors. Since then the town has grown in popularity with international and Japanese visitors alike.
There are many hot spring towns in Japan but Unzen is famous for being that lost spot in nature you’d love to literally dive into. It is absolutely loved by the quiet and somewhat untamed wilderness of the area. Today Unzen Onsen not only provides hot springs to relax in, but also attract travelers with the incredible scenic views of autumn leaves located on the hills of the surrounding.
