Nagasaki, sparkling like a gem (3'56")

The night view of Nagasaki City is regarded as one of the most beautiful in Japan. In this port city, surrounded on three sides by hills, the city lights begin to shine at dusk, drawing crowds of tourists to the observation deck every night. The spectacular panoramic night view was created about 10 years ago through a collaborative effort between Nagasaki City officials and citizens based on existing urban planning. By reevaluating the use of dazzling lights and inconsistent colors, Nagasaki was transformed into a city with a nocturnal ambience that encourages pleasant strolling.
