Tourist attraction • 551 雲仙 小浜町 Unzen, Nagasaki 854-0621, Japan
Surrounded by lush mountains, Unzen Onsen is truly a gateway to nature's artwork. The Unzen Ropeway, slowly carrying you through the clouds, marks the beginning of a wondrous journey.
Upon reaching the summit at an elevation of 1,300 meters, the majestic sight of Heisei Shinzan awaits. The vast lava dome below appears as if the earth is deeply exhaling. You will be overwhelmed by the proximity to the smoking new mountain and the sheer power of nature.
At the observation deck near the ropeway's summit station, you can admire the islands floating in the sea of clouds. Combined with the nearby new mountain, it creates a paradise-like panorama in the sky. The flowing sea of clouds is truly a breathtaking sight.
For those who love hot springs, we recommend getting off at the middle station to enjoy the Unzen Onsen or Unzen Tenjin Onsen. Furthermore, hiking enthusiasts can explore the trails from the summit. There are plenty of activities to enjoy in this natural scenic area.
