This is a "center" within the JR Nagoya station that have lots to see, shop and dine. Whether you are taking the Shinkansen, metro or bus, you will not miss this place. There are departmental stores like Takashimaya and Tokyu Hands that each covers several floors where you can shop until drop, among others. Also have lots of eateries, cafes, restaurants all around, and on the 12 and 13 floor too where you can have a good bird eye's view of the city. Of course, convenience stores and souvenirs shops are around too. And if you walk further out, there's a Disney store and also more underground shopping street where shops selling fashion, shoes, bags and lifestyle products etc are located. It's so convenient and accessible to move around and sometimes easy to get "lost" as there are so many entrances and exits and all look quite similar. LOL. So good to "recognize" some key shops or landmarks! And the place is full of people all day long as people meet their friends here!

Whether arriving by Meitetsu train from Central Japan Int'l. Airport; departing to Toyama or arriving from Matsumoto by JR train; sightseeing around Nagoya using the subway or Aonami Line before finally returning to Centrair, all journeys seem begin and/or end at Nagoya Station. Above the collective railway concourses sits the twin towers of the JR Central Towers plus the connected JR Gate Tower. Viewed from the outside the towers gracefully point skywards with the centre tower topped by the 'Panorama Salon' on the 51F. Inside you have all the hustle and bustle of Nagoya Station on the 1F (epitomised by the "Meeting Point" under the clock!), the glitz and glamour of shops (including JR Takashimaya Department Store and Gatetower Mall, BIC Camera, Uniqlo, etc.) up to 11F and two floors of Restaurants/Food Courts (12F & 13F). The 15F ('Sky Street') acts as a transfer floor between the respective towers and contains the Lobbies for the Hotels/Offices above. Superb example of a modern urban development!
