The tower is Nagoya’s symbol, built as Nagoya TV Tower for tourism and TV broadcast and completed in 1954. In 2011, TV signals were switched from analog to digital and its function as a consolidated radio tower was ended.
In 2020, the interior was completely renovated with hotels added on the 4th and 5th floors. In May of 2021, it was reopened as Chubu Electric Power MIRAI TOWER.

Enjoy the fresh air and the beauty of the City.

When you visit the Sakae area of Nagoya, it’s hard not to notice Chubu Electric Power MIRAI TOWER standing tall in Hisaya-odori Park! Built in 1954, this TV tower was one of Japan’s earliest consolidated radio towers and is a classic landmark in central Nagoya. The tower is especially striking against the blue sky, surrounded by lush greenery, a modern park, and shopping districts that create a cityscape unique to Nagoya. Once illuminated at night, it takes on a different kind of charm. Whether you stroll around and take photos during the day or enjoy the lights at night, it’s well worth it.
When you come to downtown Nagoya, you have to check out this super cool landmark, Oasis 21! From a distance, it looks like a huge transparent white spaceship parked in the city center, with the super tall and spectacular Nagoya TV Tower standing beside it.
You can take great photos here from just about any angle. Here are a few highlights I have to share:
Spaceship-Aqua on the rooftop: Take the elevator to the top level, where the floor is actually one big transparent shallow pool! A gentle breeze creates ripples across the water, and if you find the right angle, you can see the entire TV tower reflected in it. It looks incredibly dreamy.
Super cute photo spot: Back on the ground-level plaza, there is a large “@NAGOYA” letter installation on the lawn. You can get both the spaceship and the TV tower in the background, making it the perfect tourist photo.
Great underground shopping area: Right underneath the huge spaceship is actually a sunken shopping mall with air conditioning, lots of anime merchandise stores, capsule toy machines, and dessert shops. It’s super convenient to grab something to eat and rest downstairs when you get tired of walking around.
The Kanto region has Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Skytree, and when visiting the Chubu region, you definitely shouldn't miss Chubu Electric Power MIRAI TOWER. Located by Hisaya-odori subway station, it stands 180 meters tall. Although it isn't the tallest tower in Japan, it is an important landmark in the Chubu region and a must-visit spot for night views.
The tower is in Hisaya-odori Park, with a pond in front of it where events are held from time to time. There are shops and restaurants on both sides. The scenery is completely different during the day and at night, making it a great place to have afternoon tea or enjoy dinner and a walk in the evening. At night, mist rises from the park's pond, and the atmosphere and scenery will have you taking plenty of memorable photos with your phone or camera. If you're in Nagoya's Sakae area, remember to stop by for a walk.
A stroll around the “Nagoya TV Tower” in Hisaya-odori Park. If you want to experience the unique landmark appeal of Japan’s first completed consolidated radio tower, this steel structure blending modern design with a sense of history is definitely a must-visit spot in the Sakae area.
As soon as you reach the spacious outdoor plaza and lush park walkway below, you can look up and see the elegant retro tower, with its clean structural lines, soaring into the sky. It stands out beautifully against the sky and the surrounding modern shopping centers.
Up close, the tower’s intricate steel craftsmanship complements the outdoor stepped plaza and large electronic screens nearby. You can even see a seasonal skating rink and distinctive installations, giving the area a lively urban energy.
Looking out from around the observation deck or the plaza, you can take in the bustling streets of the Sakae shopping district. The unique blend of old and new is captivating enough to make you linger.
I highly recommend including Nagoya TV Tower in your walking itinerary around the city. Whether you want to admire the classic beauty of the tower’s architecture, enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of an urban oasis, or capture striking street scenes, it will add plenty of style to your trip!
I highly recommend visiting Chubu Electric Power MIRAI TOWER! From the Sky Deck, you can look out over downtown Nagoya. The daytime views feel wide open, while at night, the sparkling city lights are especially beautiful and truly captivating.
This is also one of my favorite attractions in Nagoya. After visiting Tokyo Skytree and Tokyo Tower, Nagoya TV Tower may seem much smaller, but I actually really like its relaxed atmosphere. Especially when there aren't many visitors at night, you can take your time enjoying the night view without the crowds, which is really comfortable.
The area around the tower is also great for exploring, with restaurants, izakayas, department stores, and drugstores. Spending half a day walking around, eating, and taking photos is just right.
