Our guide
Mount Inasa is a hill of 333 m to the west of central Nagasaki. The Nagasaki Ropeway and the Inasa slope car make it easy to reach the top, where a short walk from their adjacent stations leads to the Mt. Inasa Overlook, a multi-level observation deck with a 360-degree view from the roof and a restaurant on its lower level.
The night view is the reason to come. The panorama from here is known as Nagasaki's “ten-million-dollar night view”, and in 2021 Nagasaki's night view was certified as one of the “World's New Three Great Night Views” by the Night View Summit.
We have not checked the ropeway's hours or fares, or the route to its lower station, so look for local information before you go.
