    Nagasaki Pref. Unzenshi Obamachounzen 551
    This ropeway operates from the Unzen Nita Pass in Unzen, Obama-cho, Unzen City to nearby the summit of Mt. Myoken. You can enjoy magnificent views of Unzen, designated as a part of Unzen-Amakusa National Park, from inside the gondola. In addition, the station has facilities such as specialty goods shops and a mountain summit observation center, and Unzen Nita Pass Premium Night is an event held where you can watch the night views and starry sky of Amakusa and Shimabara.

    If you are not prepared to go hiking, it is an easy way to go to the mountain top. I hiked up and took the ropeway down.

    Nagasaki Pref. Nagasakishi Fuchimachi 8-1
    A ropeway which travels between Fuchi Jinja Station in Fuchi-machi, Nagasaki City and Inasa Dake Station near the top of Mt. Inasa. The journey from the bottom of the mountain to the station close to its 333-meter-high peak takes around five minutes, and from the ropeway's gondolas, riders can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of Nagasaki. There's an observatory at the top of the mountain which is a particularly popular destination from which to enjoy Nagasaki's glittering nightscape in the evening.

Nagasaki Areas

This hidden corner of the country is rural Japan at its best, where underground activity is to thank for active volcanoes and bubbling natural hot springs along the Shimabara Peninsula as well as the crystal clear waters of the Goto Islands off the west coast. Less well known than Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Park, Nagasaki commemorates its own past at the Nagasaki Peace Park, which sits alongside the charming Meganebashi stone bridge and a mix of religious buildings with beautiful architecture, such as the Zen Buddhist Sofukuji Temple, the Confucian Shrine, and the Oura Christian Church.
