Isahaya City Skateboard Park: A Must-Visit Spot for Skaters in Japan

Last month, I had the opportunity to visit Isahaya City Skateboard Park in Nagasaki Prefecture and even managed to fly my drone over the area to capture some shots. It’s a compact yet well-maintained park featuring prefabricated metal ramps with Skatelite riding surfaces.

First Impressions

The ground was relatively smooth—typical of most concrete parks, though not perfectly level. I only cruised for a few minutes, but right away, I noticed a few quirks in the design. The pyramid hip was steep and jarring, with an extremely short landing that made it tough to hit smoothly. However, the center island felt more balanced, with transitions that actually made sense.

One of the more puzzling design choices was a 4-foot hip ramp leading directly into the wall of the mini ramp—an odd layout that didn’t flow as well as the rest of the park. Despite that, the park offers enough variety for skaters to find their groove.

Should You Visit?

If you find yourself in Isahaya City, I’d definitely recommend stopping by for a session. While the park has its quirks, it’s still a fun spot to ride, and the surrounding city is absolutely worth exploring.
