The programme

You will enjoy a day in Shimabara Peninsula. At an altitude above 700 meters, Unzen is quite cool throughout the year.
Unzen is one of japan`s most highly reputed deluxe resorts and surrounding natural scenery is breathtaking. Unzen Hell (unzen jigoku in Japanese) is the number one attraction of Unzen. Unzen Hell can easily be located by its high, dense clouds of steam. These springs are highly valued by Japanese even now as according to Buddhist teachings, 'If you live in a bad manner, you cannot go to Paradise, but rather you will fall into the Hell of agony.'
Shimabara castle is very famous as one of the 100 famed castle of Japan and a magnificent castle which faces the Ariake Sea to the east and is located at the foot of Unzen. Old Samurai House Street is known as the house site of Samurai. This famous street is lined with stone walls and a spring water canal running down its center. Three samurai houses have been restored. It is extremely picturesque, and perfect for a great photo shoot.
Lunch will be served in the restaurant in Shimabara Peninsula.
On the way back to the port, please enjoy foot bath in Obama area, that is along to the Omura bay.

Footbath is a place to enjoy relaxation by soaking the feet from the knees down in hot water with clothes on.
If you wear tight pants or full-length-stockings that do not roll up to the knees, you will not be able to enjoy the footbath you have been enjoying.
Please bring towels for wet leg or foot to wipe.
