Panoramic views of the Battleship Island from Nomozaki Narcissus Park

After visiting Toyotamahime Shrine, we wanted to go to the place where we can see the Battleship/Gunkanjima Island. We know Nomozaki Narcissus Park in the Nomozaki area of Nagasaki city. The park's annual narcissus festival will be held between January 6 and 27, with 10 million species of daffodils blooming on the hillside.

The distance between Ureshino and Nomozaki is so far, it takes about 2 hours via Nagasaki Expressway and National Highway 499. And the weather forecast says it will be cloudy in the afternoon. It's getting cloudy near Omura but clear in the Nagasaki city.

We came here at half past one. There is an entrance in front of the special parking lot. From here, we took a walk up to the observation deck.

When we went up the stairs, we finally met the island shaped like a battleship.

 A close up view of the island is like this.

After that we went to the Eastern observation deck.

Before going to Nagasaki, we went to the Gunkanjima Museum next to the narcissus park. At the museum, we saw a 4K short film of history of the Hashima Island coal mine between the late Meiji and the mid-Showa periods.
