Higashiyama Sky Tower is known as one of Japan's premier night view spots, and was selected as a "Night View Heritage of Japan" in 2004. The tower also serves as a relay station for disaster prevention radio, equipped with 14 parabolic antennas and a radio equipment room. High-altitude surveillance cameras are also installed, playing a crucial role in Nagoya's disaster prevention efforts. Besides the observation deck, the tower offers a restaurant on the 7th floor and an observation deck on the 5th floor, providing diverse ways to enjoy your visit. Located within Higashiyama Park, it's highly recommended to visit the Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens as well. Higashiyama Sky Tower is a beloved and popular spot for many visitors to Nagoya.
