leaveToyota Industrial Technology Memorial MuseumAfter, take theNagoya Sightseeing BusGo to "Chubu Electric Power MIRAI TOWER" station. This colorful building is the famous landmark – the Oasis 21 water spaceship! It is famous for its fantastic oval shape that looks like a spaceship, and is composed of a glass and steel structure. The designer is the famous Japanese architect Hideki Kasai. It is such a blessing to be able to see his works.
The main feature of the Water Spaceship is that its roof is composed of about 16,000 pieces of glass. When the weather is good, sunlight can shine into the interior of the spacecraft (the first underground floor). There is also an artificial pond on the roof of the spaceship. The waterscape at night is paired with a colorful light show, which makes people feel like they are in the future world. It is very beautiful and technological. You can take the elevator to the roof of the spacecraft (about 5 stories high) to watch it. The night view is free (laughs)

Don’t worry if you get tired from shopping in the store. You can take the elevator to the colorful disk of the spaceship to enjoy the beautiful night view and watch the Chubu Electric Power Company up close. MIRAI TOWER.

Below the spacecraft is a small shopping mall with an ice rink in the middle and some businesses and restaurants surrounding it. While the rich man’s wife was visiting the drug store and the 10-yuan store, the rich man came to visit the nearby store (laughing).
Oasis 21 Shopping Street
Gacha Forest
During this trip to Nagoya, I actually saw this kind of gashapon store full of gashapon machines many times, and transferred a truck gashapon to the little rich man.

There are a lot of gashapon machines that are higher than people, and you will surely find fun and interesting gashapons if you spend some time!


Acorn Republic
Acorn Republic sells many classic works of Studio Ghibli, such as My Neighbor Totoro, Shadow Girl and Howl's Moving Castle. Although it is also available in Taiwan, it is definitely cheaper here, Ghibli fans should not miss it.
By the way, Ghibli Land located in the Aichi Expo Memorial Park in Aichi Prefecture will also open at the end of 2022. For detailed information, please refer toofficial website, You can also arrange your itinerary by the way if you go east from Nagoya.

Chunichi Dragons Baseball Store
Rich people will especially watch Nippon Professional Baseball go back to the junior high school days. I was a fan of the Seibu Lions when I was a child. I recall the super strong connection formed by Taiwanese pitcher Kuo Taiyuan, hitters Kiyohara Kazuhiro, Akiyama Koji and foreign player Distolan. Blast Yakult! I couldn’t help but browse around. Of course, the store sells small items related to baseball. I remember when I was a kid, my rich father took him to visit the baseball store in Seibu Department Store. After all this time, the things sold are still the same, and they remain the same for a long time (laughs) , what’s more special is that there is a sticker machine in the store where you can take photos with your favorite players!

JUMP SHOP
The official store of JUMP, the magazine with the highest circulation in Japan, has a lot of anime goods in the store. The rich man only knows the old ones like One Piece, Dragon Ball, Gintama, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, etc. It is recommended to anime fans, it is worth a visit!
The photo of the store entrance is reproduced from Google Map.

Matsumoto Kiyoshi
The Oasis 21 Matsumoto Kiyoshi store doesn’t have much space, but I didn’t expect that I still bought a tax-refundable amount.

More Nagoya activities and itineraries to share
After leaving Oasis 21, we passed Chubu Electric Power MIRAI TOWER. Chubu Electric Power MIRAI TOWER was built in 1954 and was the earliest radio tower built in Japan. However, it has been registered as a national tangible cultural property of Japan. It is a famous landmark of Nagoya City. There are a lot of department stores nearby such as Don Quixote and Shin Kong Mitsukoshi for shopping, right! There is also a Ferris wheel Sky-Boat with a fully transparent carriage on the 3rd floor of SUNSHINE Sakae Department Store. If you like Ferris wheels, don’t miss it!

Visit Information
gourmet restaurant
I was hungry after visiting Oasis 21. The rich wife loves chicken wings the most, so I found an izakaya that specializes in chicken wings near Don Quixote at the "Sakae" subway station. (laugh).
EXIT NISHIKI's appearance is copied from Google Map. Even the appearance is very exquisite. It has a retro feel.

In fact, it is just like the food court in a department store, but it is deliberately designed to look like a roadside stall in a night market. The advantage is that it is indoors! There is no need to worry about wind or rain at all, the interior is also clean, the shops on the whole street are very enthusiastic and loud greetings, it is very lively, and the atmosphere is great.

Kachiteba Izakaya
Kachiteba is a restaurant specializing in "chicken" dishes, and the store's mascot, Brother Chicken, is also very happy.

The seats in the store are on the mezzanine on the second floor. It is small and crowded. People who are too tall may hit the ceiling. There are also many famous (?) autographs on the wall. Most of the people who come to eat are drinking beer. Supplemented by eating (laughs).


Detailed menu sharing.

The wealthy family ordered grilled chicken wings, sesame oil chicken, mushroom stewed rice, and miso stewed chicken chowder. The taste is salty. You can eat cabbage to relieve the greasy. There is one more addition, and I recommend it to everyone.

Miso stewed chicken chowder, delicious, I hope I didn't eat chicken Buddha (laughs)!

From the top of the mountain, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of Mie Prefecture and Ise Bay. The height difference is 780 meters, so the rich man felt that the cable car was quite steep to ride on. Yes, be mentally prepared. The total distance is about 2.1 kilometers and the one-way drive takes about 15 minutes.
