In 2012, Nagasaki City was selected as one of the "New Three Great Night View Cities in the World" (commonly known as the New Three Great Night View Cities in the World) along with Monaco and Hong Kong at the Night View Summit 2012. Nine years later, at the 9 World Night View Summit in Nagasaki, the three cities of Monaco, Shanghai, and Nagasaki City were re-certified as the New Three Great Night View Cities in the World.
We will introduce the night view viewing spots in Nagasaki City that won high rankings in a review that not only allows you to enjoy attractive night views, but also measures to improve night scenery lighting.

Mt. Inasa, the most popular night view viewing spot

Mt. Inasa is the most popular night view viewing spot where you can get a bird's-eye view of Nagasaki's mortar-shaped city. From the illuminated observation deck at the summit, you can enjoy a 1-degree panoramic night view.
There are several ways to access the observation deck, but the "mountaintop parking lot" closest to the observation deck is closed to general vehicles on Saturdays and at night during consecutive holidays, so first-time visitors should have a round trip from each hotel in the city to the Mt. Inasa summit observation deck. We recommend taking the Nagasaki sightseeing bus ``Night View Tour'' (reservations required) or taking a taxi.
There is also a hotel halfway up Mt. Inasa, so you can stay overnight and enjoy the night view of Nagasaki in a private space.

Three-dimensional night view of Nagasaki city seen from Mt. Nabekanzan

The night view from Nabekanzan Park on the opposite bank of Mt. Inasa is one of the most beautiful in Nagasaki. You can see the night view of Megami Bridge, the port, and the city of Nagasaki in three dimensions from the side instead of from a bird's-eye view.
It's about a 2-minute walk from the second gate of Glover Garden, and there's a free parking lot open 10 hours a day, so it's easy to access, and it's not as crowded as Mt. Inasa, so you can enjoy the night view from the beautiful observatory that was renovated in 24. You can enjoy it.

Magic hour night view at Kazegashira Park

If you want to see the artistic night view of the setting sun and magic hour, we recommend "Kazegashira Park"! The trio of the gradation of the sunset and blue sky, the sky reflected on the surface of Nagasaki Bay, and the city lights slowly coming on. It is an artistic night view that can only be seen for a short time before and after sunset.
Since it is close to spots such as Nagasaki City Kameyama Shachu Memorial Museum and Meganebashi, why not visit in the evening along with sightseeing?

You can also get a panoramic view of Nagasaki Port from the Sakamoto Ryoma Statue, which is located about a 1-minute walk from the Kazagashira Park Observation Deck!

New night view award spot “Nagasaki Prefectural Office 8th Floor Observation Deck”

From the observatory on the 2018th floor of the Nagasaki Prefectural Government Office, which was moved to a new building in 8, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the ocean and night view of Nagasaki Port! The spacious 280 square meter observation deck terrace is open to the public free of charge until 21pm every day. It is attracting attention as a new nighttime scenic light spot.
The outdoor terrace on the second floor of the prefectural office building and the surrounding bay area are open 2 hours a day, so you can enjoy the night view while strolling, including the lights of high-rise apartment buildings reflecting off the sea surface.

On weekdays, enjoy night view dinner at the prefectural restaurant “Chez Digima”!

You can also enjoy the night view while eating at Chez Degima, a restaurant located on the second floor of the prefectural office where you can enjoy locally produced menus with the best value for money. However, it is only open until 2pm on weekdays, so it is only open during the cold season when the days are short!

Night view from Glover Garden where you can enjoy illumination

Glover Garden, located on a hill overlooking Nagasaki Port, is also famous as a sunset viewing spot. The park normally closes at 18 p.m., but there are periods when the park is open at night, during which you can enjoy the illumination of LED lights that decorate the park and the Western-style building. It is close to Nagasaki Port, and you can see the dynamic night view that approaches you, making it a night view spot that will give you two delicious night views in one go! Please check the night opening schedule in advance before visiting.

There are still many tourist spots that are beautifully lit up at night.

Nagasaki City's beautiful night view cannot be achieved only with conventional street and building lighting. As part of the Nagasaki Night View Landscape Improvement Project, each of the ``night views'' has been refined through a variety of initiatives, including illumination of historical buildings and tourist facilities that serve as local landmarks, and the provision of street lights along excursion routes, each of which shines brightly. All of these combine to create an attractive night view. We will introduce you to the illuminated sightseeing spots in Nagasaki City that you should see up close, not just from the night view spots!
