Pretty decent for price. Clean. Very helpful front desk staff. Free toiletries, slippers, and night wear for sleeping. They held our bags for us for the afternoon after our stay. Bed was comfy! We bought the breakfast buffet, was very decent. We had an enjoyable stay, would definitely go back!

Sky Promenade Nagoya – A Romantic and Cost-Effective Sky Observation Deck! (Get a Discount on Tickets through Klook) If you visit Nagoya and are looking for a place to see a panoramic view of the city, I highly recommend that you don’t miss Sky Promenade on the Midland Square building, an extremely romantic city viewpoint both day and night. Sky Promenade is an open-air observation deck on the 44th–46th floors of the Midland Square building, the tallest building in Nagoya (about 220 meters). Once you get to the top, the view is very beautiful. You can see 360 degrees of the city with nothing blocking it. When I went, I chose to go in the evening, near sunset. The atmosphere was great. The wind was cool. The city view gradually changed from gold to glittering lights. Every angle you take pictures is beautiful. I booked tickets in advance through Klook. It was a little cheaper than buying at the event and it was very convenient. Just show the QR Code from the app to the staff when you go up and you can enter. No need to waste time queuing. What impressed me • The view of Nagoya in the evening and at night was surprisingly beautiful. • Not crowded, not as many people as the big landmarks. • The atmosphere is suitable for taking pictures. Listen to quiet music or sit and chill with your loved one. Recommendations • It is recommended to go in the evening before the sun sets to get both day and night views. • If you go in winter, it is very windy up there, so you should bring a windbreaker. • Tickets from Klook can be used right away without having to exchange for a real ticket. Conclusion: Sky Promenade is another hidden gem of Nagoya that is very worthwhile, especially if you buy tickets through Klook, you get a discount and don't have to waste time queuing. It is suitable for people who want to see a beautiful view of the city but don't like crowds. If I have a chance to come again, I will definitely go back.

After entering the country, follow the tram signs to find the entrance gate. Staff are available at the gate to assist passengers. It is easy to reach the city center.

Very good, suitable for people who check in and take photos. Don't consider this if you really go hiking. The time for playing is relatively tight, and most of the time is spent on the way back and forth. This price is much more cost-effective than taking a car to go back and forth
