It indeed has one of the nicest night views in Japan, and part of it is because the tower stands on top of a hill at a nice periphery of the city, and also because the buildings in Nagoya City seem quite well organized and planned—they remind me a bit of Singapore. Most people sit on the 5th floor, so if it's too crowded, the 4th floor offers a similar view, but with less people (it it's not peak hour). A note that the 4th/5th floors are not 4th/5th floors per se, as they are all the way at the top of the tower and there are no other floors in between. Also, only thing is that if you are not familiar with Nagoya's buildings (which I am not), the night view can look quite generic. By the way, if you are going to and fro the tower, I personally find walking from Higashiyamakoen Station easier and more straightforward (see blue route in one of the photos).

When I am visiting cities, I look for high vantage points to get a bird’s eye view, I found that this tower was a good point of view, standing at over 100 metres high you can see much of Nagoya. The observation deck provides 360-degree views of the city and surrounds, on a hot summer’s day the refreshing air-con is a welcome relief, I was up here on a Sunday and there were many visitors/tourists that came up here, I had an hour or so to kill and I sat up here enjoying the view and the comfortable environment, there’s a little gift shop there too. No matter how old or young this tower is a worthwhile visit. The tower is about a 20-minute walk from the train station, be warned that one of the roads leading up to the car park from the main street is quite steep so if you struggle with steep inclines, it may be wise to catch a taxi up there.

Higashiyama Sky Tower was opened in 1989 as part of the commemoration of the centennial of Nagoya City’s foundation. Aside from the observation deck, it also has a restaurant. Being a disaster-prone country (especially earthquakes), the Sky Tower was also fitted with a vibration-damping equipment, designed to absorb energy from the earthquakes (I believe many buildings in Japan were also fitted with similar systems). The Sky Tower is also used as a relay station for disaster-prevention wireless communications of the local government. Standing over Mount Higashi by 134 meters, the glass needle-like Higashiyama Sky Tower is perfect to have a view of the entire zoo, botanical gardens, Nagoya City and its nearby places. Too bad we weren’t able to stay long enough to see the sunset and the night view.

Higashiyama Sky Tower is a landmark in the east part of Nagoya City in Aichi Prefecture. From the observation platform of the tower, which stands at a corner in Higashiyama Park, visitors can admire one of the largest parks in Japan. A magnificent view of the Central Alps, Mt. Ontakesan and Mt. Ibukisan are also overlooked from the observation platform. The visitors are fascinated by the night view, which was selected as one of the most beautiful night views in Japan. At the foot of the tower, guests can spend an entire day visiting the zoo where they can see the adored Koalas and the botanical garden that contains an extensive collection of the world's plants.

Review in English Japanese and Chinese available. When I climbed up to that place, I quickly realized that the scenery there wasn't particularly remarkable. There were no stunning mountains or waterfalls, nor any breathtaking natural wonders. However, I came to realize that it wasn't necessarily a bad thing. As I purchased the tickets, I noticed that they were reasonably priced. It made me feel reassured, understanding that I didn't need to spend too much money in this place. Being a short tour option, the price was quite reasonable for me. As I embarked on the tour route, I discovered that the entire tour would only take about 15 minutes. So, even though the scenery of this place didn't have many extraordinary features, the ticket price was affordable, and a 15-minute tour was quite enjoyable! その場所に登ってみると、すぐにそこの景色には特に目を引くものがないことに気付きました。壮大な山々や滝もなく、息をのむような自然の驚異もありませんでした。しかし、それは必ずしも悪いことではないと気づきました。 チケットを購入する際に、その価格がかなり手頃であることに気づきました。それは私にとって安心感を与えてくれました。この場所ではあまりお金を使う必要はないと理解しました。短いツアーオプションとして、その価格は私にとってかなり合理的でした。 ツアールートに乗り出すと、ツアー全体が約15分で終わることがわかりました。 ですから、この場所の風景に特筆すべき特徴がなくても、チケットの価格が手ごろであり、15分間のツアーも十分に楽しめるのです！ 當我登上那個地方，我很快地發現這裡的風景並沒有太多特別之處。沒有壯觀的山脈或瀑布，也沒有令人屏息的自然奇觀。然而，我意識到這並不一定是件壞事。 我購買門票時，我注意到它們的價格相當合理。這讓我感到放心，明白我並不需要在這個地方花費太多金錢。作為一個短暫的遊覽選擇，這個價格對我來說相當合理。 當我踏上遊覽路線，我發現整個遊覽只需要大約15分鐘。 所以，儘管這個地方的風景沒有太多特別之處，但門票價格相宜，用15分鐘遊覽也不錯！

The Higashiyama Sky Tower gives a commanding view of the zoo next door and of Nagoya city nearby. On a clear day the Japanese alps will also be visible to the north, shining white with snow. Steam from the volcano Mt Ontake might also be visible. The tower houses a restaurant, a gift shop, and a viewing deck. It is also open into the evening hours to see the city lights shine once the sun sets.
