Ten Million Dollar Night View

Breathtaking, melancholic view of a sparkling, imaginary jewel …

INASAYAMA (Nagasaki Nightview)

Viewed from the heights of Mount Inasa (333 m) the city of Nagasaki at night sparkles like glittering jewels and is considered one of the three most beautiful night views in Japan. The journey is easiest by ropeway and at the top you are greeted by numerous gigantic TV transmitter masts and other antennas.

Here is some indication of what is meant by a beautiful nightview… (better to be seen live, may be in company):

This army of antennas makes imagination run a bit wild …
