A night view spot loved by locals
I love sitting on a bench in Oura Tenbo Park, right in front of Minamiyamate Rest House, and looking out at the city at dusk. Looking at the houses lit up here and there, I'm deeply moved by the fact that Nagasaki's night view, chosen as one of the three best night views in the world, is possible only because of the lives of the people there.
Avoid uphill climbs with the inclined elevator! Discover Nagasaki life and spectacular views at Minamiyamate
After replenishing your supplies with fruit at Shimada Fruit Shop, we headed for a stroll around Minamiyamate, an area full of hidden gems. We avoided the steep stairs and headed up the hill using the Glover Sky Road elevator, a local local service. Minamiyamate Rest House has tourist information and a rest area, and is free to use. Oura Observation Park in front of the rest house is a small but popular spot for locals to relax. There are small benches here, and you can enjoy the scenery typical of a hilly town. You may be able to feel the worldview depicted in the movie "The Color of You." You can also enter the garden from the second gate at the top of Glover Garden from here.
