Nestled in a highland 700 meters above sea level and surrounded by magnificent mountains at the center of the Shimabara Peninsula, Unzen Onsen is an alpine hot spring resort rich with international history, once loved as a summer retreat for Westerners during the Meiji period. At the town’s heart lies the iconic “Unzen Jigoku” (Unzen Hell), where pure white steam clouds and a potent sulfur aroma vigorously erupt from the ground, allowing you to directly feel the earth’s overwhelming primal life force. After experiencing nature’s wonders, soaking in the thick, milky-white sulfur springs thoroughly washes away daily fatigue and impurities from the core of your body, delivering a profound, soul-rejuvenating refresh. A supreme retreat to deeply heal mind and body awaits here, enveloped by clear alpine air and mountain beauty changing through the seasons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
