Chiba Port Tower

Chiba Port Tower is nothing more than an observatory tower located in the port-side area of Chiba city, in the prefecture of the same name. It is 125 meters tall, yet with only 4 floors, and located on the top of this tower is a cafe which sits alongside an observatory room.

The tower was opened in 1986 and built in commemoration of Chiba Prefecture’s population exceeding the five-million mark in 1983.

With its unique design and entirely covered of reflective windows, the Chiba Port Tower is a breathtaking, architectural wonder that seems to pierce the sky like a ‘katana’.
