Ishidake Observatory — Attraction in Sasebo

Free admission, opened daily and closes at 2100. Once you arrive at the small parking lot, you'll have to walk about 300 meters up the stone and muddy (if it just rained) walkway. A little bit of a challenge, don't wear heels, make sure to wear boots or sneakers No wheelchair or handicap parking, not recommended for the elderly or handicapped. There isn't a toilet available in the area, the toilet is located at the bottom of the hill at Mori Kirara, which is the Botanical gardens/Zoo. The climb to the top ain't easy. There's a small area with a beautiful view just below the observation deck. Climbing up the stairway to the top you'll get a wonderful view of the area, it's a breathtaking experience. Recommend to travel here on a clear day and don't go after...

Absolutely stunning view. Unfortunately the 300m pathway to the top is slippery, muddy, and full of stones / steps. Definitely not suitable for people with mobility issues. No facilities on site (toilets, vending machines, etc). The lookout tower has definitely seen better days, and could do with some maintenance and a good clean. Free admission, and plenty of parking. The weather wasn’t fantastic when I went, but was still a great experience overall. Had the whole place to myself. Definitely worth a visit if you’re physically able and...

Beautiful place to enjoy the sunset....when the day soo sunny you can see the sunset from here...but the place is quiet far from the bus stop if you walk...There's no public transportation to go until the car park...you better go there by car or motorcycle...or if you want more exciting experience...you can go by bicycle...even though the road is not easy for it but i think it will be unforgetable and your effort will be paid after you arrived there and saw the sunset....very-very beautiful....and make it sure the weather is not...
