Shimabara Peninsula

Unzen is the name of the region in the center of the Shimabara-hanto Peninsula which belongs to the volcanic region of Mt. Unzen-dake. Its principal peak is Mt. Fugen-dake and the area is part of Unzen-Amakusa National Park. In 1990, Mt. Fugen-dake erupted after 198 years of silence, and the lava dome of Mt. Heisei-shinzan was formed. The dramatic shape of the new mountain may be seen from observation points at Nita-toge Pass, and from Mt. Myoken-dake.
Shimabara City faces Shimabara Bay on the east coast of the Shimabara-hanto Peninsula. It prospered as a castle town for Shimabara Castle, which was built in the 17th century. Old temples and shrines, as well as the sites of houses in which lower-class samurais lived until the 19th century, still remain there today. Missionaries were active in Shimabara in the early 17th century, and many of the local residents became Christians. However, the administrator of that time banned Christianity, and Shimabara became known for its harsh oppression of religion.
