All Reviews of Oasis 21

After finishing a full day of activities, I came to Oasis 21 in the evening for a walk and to look around. Oasis 21 is a landmark multipurpose complex in Nagoya's Sakae district. Its most distinctive feature is the futuristic glass roof known as the Spaceship-Aqua, which looks even more magical when illuminated at night. I unexpectedly came across a live music performance that day. With the pleasant fall weather and beautiful music, it was especially relaxing to sit and listen to the songs while enjoying the evening breeze. Walking through the park leads to Nagoya TV Tower. Many people were taking leisurely strolls along the way, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. It's a good place for an evening walk.

You definitely have to check out the very distinctive Oasis 21 when visiting Nagoya! The biggest attraction is the huge glass roof above, called the “Spaceship-Aqua.” From a distance, it looks like a spaceship floating over the city, and the design is really unique.

After it's lit up at night, it becomes a completely different scene. The transparent glass walkway and city lights go beautifully together, and you can enjoy the surrounding night view as you walk along it. The atmosphere is very beautiful.

Besides shopping and enjoying good food on this trip to Nagoya, I also stopped by Oasis 21 to walk around and take some photos.

If you're visiting Nagoya, I highly recommend stopping by Oasis 21. It's right in the bustling Sakae shopping district, with convenient transportation and tons of places to explore nearby! During the day, you can shop at the nearby department stores and underground malls, then find a restaurant when you need a break. At night, the illuminated Spaceship-Aqua creates a completely different atmosphere and looks great in photos.

There are also plenty of izakayas, restaurants, and shopping centers nearby, so you can eat, shop, and take a walk all in one trip. Personally, I think it's worth visiting both during the day and at night. It's especially relaxing to take a walk here after an evening of shopping.

I had been looking forward to walking around Oasis 21, but it rained that day, so I could only take a quick look while holding an umbrella. That was a bit disappointing.

Even though the weather didn’t cooperate, the glass-roofed Spaceship-Aqua was still distinctive, and the rain gave it a different kind of atmosphere. I’ve heard the nighttime illumination is gorgeous, and you can photograph it together with the nearby Nagoya TV Tower. Unfortunately, I couldn’t stay long this time. I’ll have to come back on a sunny day for a leisurely stroll and take the photos I missed.

This was my first visit to Oasis 21. I thought it was just a transit hub, but it completely blew me away at night!
The glass roof, known as the “Spaceship-Aqua,” is truly unique. You can stroll across it while enjoying nighttime views of the entire Sakae area. Once the lights come on, the nearby Nagoya TV Tower lights up too, creating a gorgeous scene. Even casual phone shots turn out great. I recommend visiting around sunset so you can experience both the daytime and nighttime atmosphere. It’s definitely worth adding to your Nagoya itinerary.

When the Spaceship-Aqua and the Nagoya TV Tower appear in the same frame, they create an image that really represents Nagoya. It has a different vibe during the day and at night. By day, it feels like an oasis in the city, and once the lights come on at night, it unexpectedly takes on a surreal feel.

That’s why I especially like coming here at night. It’s not just about enjoying the night view, but also about feeling the everyday rhythm of Nagoya.

It looks like a giant spaceship! During the day, it's just okay, but at night when the lights come on, it's actually pretty beautiful.

One of Nagoya's landmark buildings.
It looks beautiful at night! 👍
