The view of Nagasaki at night should not be missed. With Nagasaki Port at the center, mountains loom on three sides. Homes and city lights populate the slopes, their lights mingling with the twinkling stars in the sky. Nagasaki’s splendid night view can be enjoyed from many parts of the city, but the best way to enjoy the view is to take the glass-paneled gondola ropeway up to Mt. Inasa. At the World Night View Summit in 2012, Nagasaki was recognized as one of the 3 cities with the most spectacular night views in the world.
