I wanted to visit this lookout and walked to the ropeway. Unfortunately it was not accessible by ropeway and there was no explanations how you could still reach the observation deck. So unfortunately I just head back.

We got on the tram (5 minute journey) to the top of the mountain. We were warned that due to foggy weather, we may not be able to see much, but we insisted. We planned to see the sunset on the observatory, but due to the fog, we couldn't, but we were still able to see the night view of Nagasaki area! It's a spiral indoor area, so you wouldn't have to worry too much about being cold, unless you go to the roof and see the best view! There's a restaurant on the top where you could enjoy food and view at the same time, but not necessary as the food is not that special. Took the tram (every 15-30mins) back down and we searched for better food back in town.

This is probably the most famous night viewing spot in Nagasaki City. You can only reach it by car or taxi but it's really worth coming up here. To describe this place with one word, breathtaking!

The free shuttle is dumb. If you take the first run, you're supposed to take the first run to return. The problem is that the shuttles are independent of the cable car operator. When you arrive, you have to get in line with everyone else to buy a ticket and go up. It's the same on the way return down. Per the schedule, you really only have 10 minutes at the top. HOWEVER, you have to walk about 8 minutes at the top to get to the view point. Be prepared to miss your return run or just avoid this farce altogether.

I took the cable-car to get up to the observation area. I felt the cost of this ride was a bit high. At this observation deck, there were two views. The main one was the view of the city and the second was the view of the mountains at the back with the ocean. The best time to go is before the sunset as you will be able to see the sunset into the mountains. Then you can go over to the front to see the night lights of the city. It does get a bit crowded as this is one of the main highlights of Nagasaki City. Please prepare for this.

Only rating this a 3 as the crowds were thick on the observation deck making it difficult to take your photos. People get to the railing and stay there.

This is the best place to have a whole view of the city. You get to see Nagasaki City and the other view of the Pacific Ocean, over the hill area. It's also very easy to reach the place. I took the tram to Takaramachi Tram Station. From here is about 15-20 minutes walk to the Cable-car station. Alternatively, you can also take bus no. 20 or 40 from the Takaramachi Tram Station to the Cable Car station. I purposely went here in the evening to see the sunset view and I absolutely enjoyed the serene landscape. Be sure to get in the line first and get the back spot in the cable car. This will give you the chance to see the view as you go up the cable car. The same bus will lead you back to the tram station when returning.

The gondolas on the cable car are by far the most elegant that I have been in. Enjoyed this trip so much that we did it both in daylight and at sunset.

This has turned into a family tradition. Whenever someone arrives to Nagasaki after a long absence, we take them to Inasayama Observation Deck. The magnificent view of the harbor of Nagasaki is worth it.
