Observatory offering a great night view of the Mirai tower above a small mall area and square. Also happened to see some dance performances while we were there.

A very uniquely designed shopping centre. Only a single level but it host a ghibli and Harry potter and a gashapon store. Visit during dawn or evening for the night views, u can even climb onto the transparent roof( with water) for an interesting experience. For an even better view , go to level 10 of the arts building next door. But the reflective windows makes it difficult for any photography
