Unzen Onsen Travel Tips

Unzen Onsen (雲仙温泉) is a timeless hot spring retreat surrounded by volcanic beauty and natural wonder. As Japan’s first designated national park back in 1934, it blends scenic mountain landscapes with therapeutic sulfuric waters, creating the perfect escape for relaxation seekers and nature lovers alike. Stroll through this charming town where steam rises from the earth and seasonal colors paint the scenery.

After soaking in the healing hot springs, don’t miss the fun local experiences: sip on refreshing Unzen Lemonade to cool down, or try soft-boiled eggs cooked right in the steamy “Unzen Hells.” For adventure lovers, nearby Mt. Unzen offers hiking trails with breathtaking views and a taste of Japan’s dramatic volcanic past.
