Toki Messe, Convention center and skyscraper in Bandaijima, Niigata Prefecture, Japan
The 31-floor Toki Messe features an exhibition hall, conference rooms, and hotel facilities at the mouth of Shinano River meeting the Sea of Japan.
Architect Fumihiko Maki completed this 140-meter-tall structure in 2003 as part of the waterfront development initiative in Niigata Prefecture.
The building name references the toki bird, a regional symbol of Niigata Prefecture, reflecting the connection between architecture and local identity.
Visitors can reach Toki Messe via a 15-minute bus ride or 20-minute walk from JR Niigata Station, with parking available for 1,500 yen per day.
The Befco Bakauke Observatory on the 31st floor provides free access to views of Niigata City, Sado Island, and the Gozu Mountains.
