Midland Square, which houses the promenade, stands 247 meters tall, making it the tallest skyscraper in the Chubu region.
The observation deck is designed as an open-air walkway, meaning visitors are exposed to the ambient outdoor weather and wind.
The building features a double-skin glass facade, a sustainable architectural feature that helps reduce the building's heat load.
The promenade is part of a complex that includes luxury retail outlets, cinemas, and corporate offices.
Because the deck is open to the sky, it is occasionally closed during severe weather events like typhoons or heavy snow.
