Mt. Unzen Disaster Museum - Shimabara

This is a must-see if you are ever in the area. The story of the Mt Uzen disaster can really be felt here. It's completely amazing to experience. If you are an English speaker grab the headphones so you can listen to the story as you walk through each of the visual displays, it makes for a great experience.

Didn't even know this existed. Happened here by accident on our through Shimabara to Nagasaki by the ferry. Saw the ad for the museum and stopped by. Very interesting and informative. They have free English audio guide.

Uniquely Japanese experience. Very interesting museum, be sure to see both movies .

A must see if in the area! Incredible exhibits and they provide English guidance!

Such a pleasant place to learn more on the subject of volcanoes. The stuffs and our guides were super friendly and hospitable. It is very much children friendly and has a perfect view of Mt. Unzen.
