About

Mount Inasa (稲佐山, Inasa-yama) is a hill to the west of Nagasaki which rises to a height of 333 metres (1,093 ft).

The Nagasaki Ropeway and the Nagasaki Inasa Mountain Slope Car (in Japanese) allow visitors to easily travel to the summit. A short walk from the top ropeway and slope car stations (adjacent to each other) is Mt. Inasa Overlook, a multi-level observation deck with "360-degree panoramic view" from the rooftop.

Nagasaki's night view was certified as one of the "World's New Three Great Night Views" by the Night View Summit held in 2021, organized by the Night View Tourism Convention Bureau. The panoramic night view from Mt. Inasa is known as Nagasaki's "10 Million Dollar Night View" (1000万ドルの夜景, Issenmandoru no yakei).

In the lower level of the observation deck there is a restaurant Mount Inasa Restaurant ITADAKI.

There are also several buildings that house transmitters for TV and radio stations that serve Nagasaki and the surrounding area.
