Killer views from above

<p>Further eastwards still the bay opens out into the sea revealing just some of the many small distant islands</p>

<p>With the fading sun comes darkness</p>

<p>As darkness falls the sky now changes to a pale blue</p>

<p>With the night sky now present, the landscape takes on a totally different appearance</p>

<p>The bright glows of the city lights</p>

<p>The views are impressive from all directions</p>

<p>When looking at the spectacular scenery it’s not hard to understand why this is considered one of the top three night viewing spots in Japan! </p>

Standing respectfully at 333 meters high Mount Inasa overlooks the lower laying city of Nagasaki, providing the perfect vantage point for some great views of the city along with its bay which leads out into the wide open sea.

Ranked one of the top three night viewing spots in the whole of Japan it’s not too hard to understand how it achieved this well deserved status!

With a glass enclosed observation tower located at the top of this mountain, this is one place definitely worth coming to during the late afternoon in time for Nagasaki’s legendary sunsets
