A very uniquely designed shopping centre. Only a single level but it host a ghibli and Harry potter and a gashapon store. Visit during dawn or evening for the night views, u can even climb onto the transparent roof( with water) for an interesting experience. For an even better view , go to level 10 of the arts building next door. But the reflective windows makes it difficult for any photography
🏖️Oasis 21 is a modern place, located adjacent to Broadcast Tower in Sakae, Nagoya. It was opened to the public in 2002, housing restaurants, stores, and a bus terminal, as well as an area for tourist information.
🏝️The roof is a large oval glass structure that floats above ground level. It is filled with water to create an interesting visual effect and to cool down the temperature of the shopping area and the public space for various events known as "Milky Way Square" below in the summer.
We stopped by for dinner during our overnight layover in Nagoya. One of the top attractions here was this plaza. It was pretty at night and felt very safe (as in the rest of Japan). Most stores and a lot of the restaurants were closed by 9 p.m.
Observatory offering a great night view of the Mirai tower above a small mall area and square.
Also happened to see some dance performances while we were there.
I visited during early spring, and it was sunny and windy... wonderful conditions for a pleasant stroll around the glass roof. It wasn't a huge place, but there were sufficient shops and cafes for casual browsing and light refreshments.
