Unzen-Amakusa National Park

Unzen-Amakusa National Park occupies a dramatic stretch of southern Kyushu, Japan, where volcanic landscapes meet coastal island chains and deep cultural history. The park spans three prefectures—Nagasaki, Kumamoto, and Kagoshima—and derives its name from Mount Unzen, an active stratovolcano at the heart of the Shimabara Peninsula, and the Amakusa islands scattered across the Yatsushiro Sea. Established in 1934 as one of Japan's earliest national parks, the area protects a remarkable combination of volcanic terrain, subtropical forests, and marine environments. The park's significance extends beyond its natural features to encompass a profound human story. The region is intimately connected to the early history of Christianity in Japan, particularly the story of the Kakure Kirishitan—hidden Christians who practiced their faith in secret during centuries of persecution. This cultural dimension adds a unique layer to the park's identity, making it a place where geological forces and human resilience have shaped the landscape together.
