10/20/20251 min read

One of Nagasaki’s most famous landmarks, Mount Inasayama, stands 333 meters above sea level and offers one of the most breathtaking night views in Japan. Often called the “10 Million Dollar Night View,” it has been praised not only in Japan but also around the world.

From the observation deck, you can see Nagasaki’s unique landscape—surrounded by both mountains and the sea—illuminated like a field of sparkling jewels. The city’s tiered layout creates a three-dimensional glow that makes the scenery truly spectacular.

This stunning view has been selected as one of the World’s New Three Major Night Views, along with Monaco and Shanghai. It’s easy to see why so many visitors say it’s a sight they would love to experience again.

The best time to visit is around sunset, when the city slowly transitions from twilight to night, and the lights begin to twinkle across the harbor.
If you visit Nagasaki, don’t miss the chance to witness the unforgettable night view from Mount Inasayama.
