Imagine walking in the sky. In the heart of the bustling city of Nagoya, you can escape the urban noise and immerse yourself in stunning views. Do you know where this extraordinary experience is possible?
That’s right, it’s the open-air observatory at Midland Square, known as “Sky Promenade.”
Located at a height of 220 meters, this observatory offers panoramic views of the city during the day and a magical nightscape woven with countless lights at night. But what will truly amaze you is the overwhelming sense of openness. Let’s explore the details of this remarkable place!
Sky Promenade is an open-air observatory spanning the 44th to 46th floors of Midland Square. The high ceilings and open space create a sense of liberation, allowing you to fully enjoy the urban panorama of Nagoya and the endlessly illuminated highways from the walk-around deck. It was selected as a Japan Night View Heritage site in 2022.
The most notable feature of Sky Promenade is its three-story atrium structure and the fact that it is an open-air observatory without a roof.
Looking up, you’ll notice there is no ceiling in this spacious observation area.
This sense of openness is a unique feature of Sky Promenade that other urban observatories lack.
Being an open-air observatory in the heart of one of Japan’s major cities, the night view is expectedly beautiful.
Everyone who visited was quietly mesmerized by the night view. It’s truly breathtaking.

Getting to the open-air observatory can be surprisingly confusing, so make sure to study the route beforehand.
The entrance to Sky Promenade is on the 42nd floor.
Once you arrive at Midland Square, take the shuttle elevator from the 1st floor to the 42nd floor.
If you are taking the shuttle elevator from the basement, it only goes up to the 41st floor, so you will need to take the escalator to the 42nd floor from there.
Upon reaching the entrance on the 42nd floor, you will need to purchase an entrance ticket from the ticket machine. If it’s crowded, you might have to wait in line, which can be time-consuming.
If you want to enter smoothly, it’s recommended to purchase your online entry ticket in advance, so you don’t have to wait in line at the reception.
