    Nagasaki Pref. Unzenshi Obamachounzen 551
    This ropeway operates from the Unzen Nita Pass in Unzen, Obama-cho, Unzen City to nearby the summit of Mt. Myoken. You can enjoy magnificent views of Unzen, designated as a part of Unzen-Amakusa National Park, from inside the gondola. In addition, the station has facilities such as specialty goods shops and a mountain summit observation center, and Unzen Nita Pass Premium Night is an event held where you can watch the night views and starry sky of Amakusa and Shimabara.

    If you are not prepared to go hiking, it is an easy way to go to the mountain top. I hiked up and took the ropeway down.

    人生初のイルカウォッチング‼️ 昨日が雨で今日に変更して良かった‼️ 晴天に恵まれ気温も20度近くまで上がり最高のウォッチング日和になりました。 平日の木曜日だからなのか人がいない、ここで良かったのかちょっと心配、港には、65人位乗れる大型船が2艚トイレ付き、10人乗り位の小型船1艚 うちの家族4名と女性2名のカップル計6名で出港です。もちろん小型船の方です...

Nagasaki Areas

around-area-map

This hidden corner of the country is rural Japan at its best, where underground activity is to thank for active volcanoes and bubbling natural hot springs along the Shimabara Peninsula as well as the crystal clear waters of the Goto Islands off the west coast. Less well known than Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Park, Nagasaki commemorates its own past at the Nagasaki Peace Park, which sits alongside the charming Meganebashi stone bridge and a mix of religious buildings with beautiful architecture, such as the Zen Buddhist Sofukuji Temple, the Confucian Shrine, and the Oura Christian Church.
