We made a quick stop at Aino Observation Deck during our road trip around the Unzen area, and it turned out to be a quiet little gem. It’s not a major tourist attraction, but the views from up there were unexpectedly beautiful and peaceful. The deck is located along the mountain road, and there’s a small parking area nearby, which made it really convenient. After a short walk up, we were greeted with a wide, open view overlooking the Ariake Sea and the surrounding countryside. On a clear day, you can even see as far as Kumamoto across the water. The air was crisp and clean, and the entire area felt calm and refreshing—perfect for a short breather. There aren’t any big facilities or cafés here, so it’s more of a scenic stop than a destination on its own. But if you’re already driving through the area, especially on your way to or from Unzen Onsen or Shimabara, it’s definitely worth pulling over for a few minutes. We took some great photos and just stood for a while taking in the landscape. It’s one of those places that reminds you to slow down and enjoy the journey. Overall, Aino Observation Deck isn’t flashy, but it offers a peaceful moment and a scenic reward that’s worth the short detour. #summervacay #AinoObservationDeck #UnzenViews #HiddenGemsJapan #AriakeSeaViews #KyushuScenery #ScenicStop #RoadTripJapan #JapanViewpoints #UnzenTravel #SereneJapan #MountainViews #SlowTravelJapan #OffTheBeatenPath #ShimabaraDrive #NatureInJapan #japan #japantrip #kyushu #kyushutrip

We visited Unzen Jigoku on a cool misty morning, and it honestly felt like stepping into another world. The thick white steam rising from the ground, the smell of sulfur hanging in the air, and the bubbling, hissing earth beneath our feet—it was eerie, fascinating, and beautiful all at once. Unzen Jigoku is a collection of steaming geothermal vents spread out over a walkable area just a few minutes from the main onsen town. Wooden boardwalks wind through the sulphuric fields, making it easy to explore. Along the way, we passed various “hells” with dramatic names like “Oito Jigoku” and “Seishichi Jigoku,” each spewing steam more furiously than the last. It was fun reading the legends and stories tied to each one. There’s also a rich history here—this place was once a site where early Christians were persecuted during the Edo period, and some signs and monuments along the way reflect that dark chapter. What stood out most was how raw and natural everything felt. You can get really close to the vents—close enough to feel the warmth and hear the steam roar out of the earth. It’s a completely different vibe from the more polished tourist spots. And despite the name, “hell” felt oddly peaceful. Maybe because of the mountain setting and fresh air. There were even eggs being steamed in the natural heat, which made for a fun and tasty little snack break. We took our time walking the loop, soaking in the atmosphere (and some sulfur), and snapping lots of photos. If you’re visiting Unzen Onsen or anywhere nearby, this is definitely a must-see. It’s dramatic, educational, and totally unique to Kyushu. #summervacay #UnzenJigoku #KyushuTravel #UnzenHell #VolcanicJapan #SulfurSprings #JapanOnsenTown #HiddenKyushu #UnzenOnsen #SteamyAdventure #GeothermalWonder #MysticalJapan #JapanNatureSpots #UnzenVibes #UniqueJapan #HistoricHotSprings #japan #japantrip #kyushu #kyushutrip

Located about 15 minutes by car from Unzen Onsen, Kiku is a set meal restaurant that has been loved by locals for many years. The interior of the restaurant has a calm atmosphere with the warmth of wood, and there are counter seats and table seats, making it a space that is easy to use whether you are alone or in a group. We recommend the daily set meal and the set meal using fresh local fish. In particular, the boiled fish and grilled fish are characterized by a gentle seasoning that makes the most of the flavor of the ingredients, and they go well with rice. In addition, the set meal comes with a small side dish and miso soup, so you can enjoy a balanced meal. All the dishes, which use plenty of local ingredients, are homely and warm, and you can enjoy the taste of Nagasaki. Kiku is located a little away from the tourist spots, but in return you can enjoy the unique local taste and atmosphere that you cannot experience in places crowded with tourists. It is a heartwarming restaurant where you can also enjoy interacting with local people. If you visit Nagasaki, be sure to enjoy the local taste at Kiku. #EnjoyJapan
