Unzen National Park, with Onsen, local food and sake, and more

Known as the first National Park designated in Japan, Unzen used to be a resort town for people especially in summer, to escape the heat (Unzen is located on the hill). Such visitors to Unzen even include Helen Keller. Here you can experience the active volcano activity, stay in Ryokan Japanese Inn, take Onsen hot spring bath, try local food, and get healthy !
