Full traverse of Mt.Fugen with local lunch

Recommended points

1

Feel the Earth in motion, from the top of the world

 This is a genuine full traverse, climbing to the summit of the active volcano, Mount Fugen. The view of the Shimabara Peninsula and the Ariake Sea from the ridgeline can only be experienced by those who push themselves to the limit and reach the top.

2

Savoring the blessings of the earth atop the mountain

 Midway through the trek, replenished your energy with a lunch with locally sourced ingredients.

 Enjoy food nurtured by the land of Shimabara in the field—an experience you can't get anywhere else.

3

Night in Unzen Hell, reverbarating the emotions of the day hike

 After sunset, head to the Former Hachiman Hell.

 Here, among the the stillness and heat, so different from the daytime stroll through Hell, you'll feel once again what it means to be standing in the middle of an active volcano.
