Oasis 21
オアシス21
A multi-level park and bus terminal in Sakae. Its roof is a giant oval glass 'Water Spaceship' holding a shallow layer of water, and it's a perfect spot to photograph the TV tower.
Oasis 21 opened in 2002 as a multi-level complex combining a bus terminal, shops and a park. Its iconic roof, the 'Water Spaceship,' is an oval glass canopy 14 meters above the ground with a shallow layer of water on top. Visitors can stroll the elevated walkways around it. Directly facing MIRAI TOWER, it is Nagoya's most classic night-view spot, with color-changing lights after dark. The underground Galaxy Plaza often hosts events, and nearby shops sell anime merchandise, including Ghibli and Pokemon goods. Admission is free. Sakae Station on the subway connects directly, and Sakaemachi Station on the Meitetsu Seto Line is also within reach.
