The Nagoya Port Port Building, opened in 1984, is a 63-meter-tall public high-rise building. Owned by the Nagoya Port Authority, its white, sailing-ship-inspired exterior is a beloved landmark of Nagoya Port. The 7th floor boasts an observation deck at 53 meters above ground, offering 360-degree panoramic views of Nagoya Port and the surrounding cityscape. During the day, the contrast of the blue sky and sea is breathtaking, with distant views of the Suzuka mountain range and Mount Ontake on clear days. At night, the twinkling lights of factories and city streets create a magical, enchanting nightscape. From the observation deck, you might even catch a glimpse of the dolphin show at the Nagoya Port Aquarium—if you're lucky, you can see the dolphins jump! The 3rd and 4th floors house the Nagoya Marine Museum, showcasing the history of Nagoya Port and related exhibits. Through ship models, dioramas, and videos, visitors can explore the culture and history of the sea. With kid-friendly interactive exhibits, such as ship-handling simulators and gantry crane simulators, there's something for everyone to enjoy. The Nagoya Port Port Building is a highly recommended tourist spot offering both spectacular views and engaging marine cultural experiences.
