Attractions and Features
Points that overlook Nagasaki City, Nagasaki Port, and Warship Island.Free parking (as of 2019) is well maintained and has good accessibility. Because it is on a hill, the wind is pleasant, and I think whether it is good to visit in the morning, noon, and night.
Especially recommended times are 30 minutes from the sunset time minus half an hour after sunset.The sky and the city are beautiful and the dynamic landscape changes to the night’s appearance.Personally, I think that the prospect of this place is more like Nagasaki than the Mount Inasa.
You can also enjoy the scenery according to the arrival and departure of the cruise ship.
In addition, there is a fireworks festival several times a year, and it is recommended to enjoy the night view and fireworks at the same time. However, it is recommended to access it by other means because the parking lot is buried from the early hours in the morning during the fireworks display. When it comes to a large-scale fireworks display, you should act as early as possible because a tripod is crammed into the observatory.
Traffic access
Nagasaki Electric Tramway No. 5, please take the Ishibashi line and get off at Ishibashi station. To access from Nagasaki Station North, take the Line No. 1 Sofuku-ji and transfer at Shinchi Chinatown station.
Recommended! From the end of the Nagasaki Electric tramway (Line No. 5 Ishibashi), you can take a taxi from Ishibashi station within 1,000 yen.
Take the Nagasaki Bus “Umikaze” to Nihonmatsu from Nagasaki Shinchi terminal and get off at the Nihonmatsu bus stop (25 minutes).It is a 15-minute walk from there.
Free parking is available for up to 31 cars. However, because the road to the parking lot is narrow, the taxi is better if you are not confident in driving. At the time of fireworks, it will be full in the early hours.
You can check the details of the parking lot at the Nagasaki City WEBSITE.
Other: The second gate of Glover garden (There is an exit at the top left of the Glover Garden), it is about 10 minutes on foot. It is recommended when you want to go with short walk from Glover Garden. Note that the road is dark at night.
