It was designated as a restricted zone due to eruptions, but a new mountain trail was opened in May 2012, and it became possible to climb it again.

    "A volcanic group located in the center of the Shimabara Peninsula. The group consists of mountains such as 1,359-meter-high Mt. Fugendake, Mt. Kunimidake, and Mt. Myokendake. The pyroclastic flows and avalanches caused by the eruption of Mt. Fugendake in the 90s caused widespread damage in the area and also created a lava dome which became Mt. Unzendake's highest peak, dubbed ""Heiseishinzan"" (""Heisei New Mountain,"" as it came into existence early in Japan's Heisei period). The surrounding area has been designated the Unzendake Special Place of Scenic Beauty."

Nagasaki Areas

around-area-map

This hidden corner of the country is rural Japan at its best, where underground activity is to thank for active volcanoes and bubbling natural hot springs along the Shimabara Peninsula as well as the crystal clear waters of the Goto Islands off the west coast. Less well known than Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Park, Nagasaki commemorates its own past at the Nagasaki Peace Park, which sits alongside the charming Meganebashi stone bridge and a mix of religious buildings with beautiful architecture, such as the Zen Buddhist Sofukuji Temple, the Confucian Shrine, and the Oura Christian Church.
