The tower was modeled after the Eiffel Tower, utilizing a similar lattice steel construction design.
It was the first television transmission tower built in Japan.
The 2020 renovation included the installation of a luxury hotel, making it one of the few places in the world where visitors can stay inside a broadcasting tower.
The structure is designed to withstand strong winds and seismic activity typical of the Nobi Plain.
During the 2020 renovation, the tower was officially renamed from Nagoya TV Tower to Chubu Electric Power MIRAI TOWER due to a naming rights agreement.
Chubu Electric Power MIRAI TOWER is Japan's first self-supporting steel tower, completed in 1954 and designated as a Tangible Cultural Property. The structure stands 180 meters tall and features two observation decks: the indoor 'Sky Deck' at 90 meters and the outdoor 'Sky Balcony' at 100 meters. Renovations completed in 2020 integrated a boutique hotel, 'The Tower Hotel Nagoya,' within the framework of the tower itself. It is located in the center of Hisaya Odori Park in the Sakae district. The tower functions as a broadcasting antenna while serving as a primary observation site for the Nagoya cityscape. The exterior is illuminated at night with programmable LED systems.
From the ground level in the northern section of Hisaya Odori Park, looking directly up at the tower aligned with the reflecting ponds.
Visit the outdoor Sky Balcony to experience the wind and open-air views, as it provides a clearer perspective than the glass-enclosed indoor deck.
Walk the length of the surrounding Hisaya Odori Park after your visit to see the tower illuminated from the reflecting pools.
Do not mistake the nearby Oasis 21 'Spaceship-Aqua' roof for the tower's observation deck; they are separate attractions.
Occasionally closes for maintenance or private events; check the official website for irregular closures.
