Heisei-shinzan

平成新山

Shimabara, Nagasaki · Elevation 1,483 m

Heisei-shinzan is a 1,483 m lava dome spanning Shimabara and Unzen cities, Nagasaki Prefecture’s highest summit. It formed by May 1995 during renewed activity that began on 17 November 1990, after Fugendake’s 198-year dormancy; later collapses reduced it to its present height. The eruption produced 9,432 pyroclastic flows, including the June 1991 disaster that claimed 43 lives. Designated a National Natural Monument in 2004, it lies within Unzen-Amakusa National Park. Its summit remains closed because of continuing volcanic activity.
