History

The modern city of Unzen was established on October 11, 2005, from the merger of the towns of Aino, Azuma, Chijiwa, Kunimi, Minamikushiyama, Mizuho and Obama (all from Minamitakaki District).

Obama Onsen is located in Unzen City. The poet Saito Mokichi wrote a verse about the beauty of this hot spring.

gollark: You can partition them, not sure about manually.

gollark: Wait, you mean *manually* move them through those, or what?

gollark: Makes sense. Trouble is, though, even if I know which items should go where, how do I move them without huge buffers?

gollark: I have a bunch of pre-set-up storage barrel thingies and just want the stuff stored in cells to be efficiently stored.

gollark: I found *one* but I have no idea how it works.
