Unzen, Administrative city in Shimabara Peninsula, Japan
Unzen extends across 214 square kilometers on the northern edge of Shimabara Peninsula, facing Ariake Bay and Mount Unzen with numerous thermal springs.
The city formed through the 2005 consolidation of seven distinct towns: Aino, Azuma, Chijiwa, Kunimi, Minamikushiyama, Mizuho, and Obama, reshaping local administration.
The Kanoukaen festival takes place at Tachibana Park in March, bringing together residents for seasonal celebrations and traditional performances.
The Shimabara Railway line connects Unzen to major transportation hubs, while national routes 57, 251, and 389 provide road access throughout the region.
The Obama Onsen thermal springs maintain temperatures reaching 105 degrees Celsius, making them among the warmest natural water sources in Japan.
