It is said that the top 3 night views in Japan are the following: from Mount Rokku towards Kobe, from Mount Hakodate towards the city and from Mount Inasa towards Nagasaki, the last one also having a bold name: not the usual “Million Dollar Night View” but… “10 Million Dollar Night View” (Issenmandoru no yakei, 1000万ドルの夜景)…

… and the view is indeed breathtaking! And the best thing is that anyone can enjoy it, the entrance to the observatory is free and you can reach it by walking, by bus (only 300 yen the round-trip ticket) or by ropeway, which is a bit more expensive, 1200 yen, but the experience is worth the price…
