Destination
Perched at 700 meters in Japan's first designated national park, Unzen Onsen is a dramatic hot spring town surrounded by volcanic steam vents and bubbling mud pools known as Jigoku (hell). The sulfur-rich waters have drawn visitors for centuries, and the area carries a somber history as a site of Christian martyr persecution during the Edo period.
