Unzen-Amakusa National Park

Unzen-Amakusa National Park features a landscape where active volcanic mountains meet a sea studded with islands. The park offers views of both the rugged terrain of the volcanoes and the calm expanses of the Amakusa archipelago from southern Shimabara City. The natural environment combines the dynamic movements of the earth with tranquil waters.

Visitors can observe volcanic activity closely in an area where the earth’s movements are tangible. The nearby Amakusa Islands rise from blue waters, creating a scenery of green isles scattered across the sea. A visitor center provides information about the region’s formation and the volcanic activity.

Within the park, there are observation points where panoramic views can be taken in, and walking trails that allow for exploration amid clear air. The sounds of wind and waves carry through the quieter surroundings, offering a natural ambiance distinct from daily urban life.
