About this place
Mt. Fugen, the 1,359 m main peak of the Unzen volcano, in the Shimabara-Unzen-Minamishimabara area of Nagasaki Prefecture. Near the summit you can see Heisei-Shinzan (1,483 m) up close. Since Heisei-Shinzan is a restricted zone closed to entry, Mt. Fugen is loved as the highest mountain in Nagasaki Prefecture open to general climbers, one of the 100 Famous Mountains of Kyushu, with a grand 360-degree panorama.
