A foggy evening atop Mount Inasa turned into a magical experience—city lights glowing through the mist, the quiet hum of Nagasaki below, and a glimpse of one of Japan’s top three night views in a softer, dreamlike light.

Mount Hakodate’s night view lives up to its reputation—city lights shimmer between sea and sky, creating one of Japan’s most spectacular panoramas. A short ropeway ride, a chill winter breeze, and a “Ten Million Dollar View” make it an unforgettable stop in Hokkaido.
