Mount Inasa (Inasayama) is considered as the landmark of Nagasaki and also a great spot to enjoy the night view. Inasayama Park, a park located at an elevation of 333 meters is well known by everyone as a relaxing space and a place to hold various recreational activities. Nagasaki was chosen as one of “three cities with the most spectacular night views in the world” along with Hong Kong and Monaco at the World Night View Summit in 2012 in Nagasaki. The night view is regarded as a “ten million dollar night view” and is definitely worth seeing.
