The Nagasaki Ropeway is your ticket to one of the most stunning views in Japan. This aerial lift takes you to the summit of Mount Inasa, standing at 333 meters, where you can witness what many call the "10 Million Dollar Night View." This view of Nagasaki's glittering city lights against the backdrop of the harbor is so breathtaking it's ranked among the top three night views in the world.

Starting your journey at the base station, the ropeway carries you over lush greenery and scenic landscapes, making every moment of the ride an experience in itself. As you ascend, the panoramic vistas of Nagasaki unfold beneath you, offering a unique perspective of the city and its surroundings.

At the top, besides the spectacular view, there's an observation deck and a restaurant where you can dine with the city's lights twinkling below. The Nagasaki Ropeway is more than just a means of transport; it's an adventure that connects you with the heart and soul of Nagasaki, showing off the city's natural beauty and urban charm in a way that's unforgettable.

What other travelers are saying about Nagasaki Ropeway

It gets a bit crowded on the way back in the night but otherwise it’s just great. The view is absolutely gorgeous.

Staff for the ropeway way was rude to foreigners, we asked to where to get tickets to ride and he point us back upstairs to the slopeway booth, when we got there we asked the slopeway staff if we can buy the tickets there and they said we can buy the ropeway tickets from the ropeway booth where we were originally. This is the second time that the person gave us wrong information and in a rude way. Happened around 6 or 7pm

The upper cable car station is very basic and does not have any shops or restaurants. From the station, it is a 5 minute walk through a cool illuminated corridor to the observatory, where you can find a restaurant (fully booked during my visit), a small gift kiosk, and the open-air rooftop with the world-famous night view. Beside the observatory there are 2 transmission antennas, which are illuminated in different colours in different seasons, and are part of a synchronised light show between sunset and 10pm.

It was very unwelcoming to Americans. They lied and said they were closed but let others through. The scenery was beyond beautiful but we shouldn’t have to argue our way Into something we want to visit.
