More than 48,000 people live in Shimabara City, around the slopes of the Unzen volcano. 12,000 were evacuated in 1991 due to the eruptions around the two major lava domes, Mount Fujen and Mount Heisei-Shinzan. In 1792, the collapse of the Mount Mayuyama dome killed 15,000 people in the area, Japan's most deadly historic eruption.
