I-Link Town Ichikawa, Twin towers observatory in Ichikawa-Minami, Japan
I-Link Town Ichikawa is a twin tower complex featuring two residential buildings next to the station, with the western tower housing a public observation deck. The deck sits on the 45th floor and offers views of the surrounding area and Tokyo's skyline.
The complex opened in 2005 and marked a turning point in Ichikawa's modern development. The project was part of broader efforts to revitalize the Edogawa River waterfront, which separates Tokyo and Chiba Prefecture.
The observation deck serves as a meeting place where residents and visitors look out together over the city from above. The space regularly hosts exhibitions and small gatherings, making it a social destination rather than just a viewpoint.
The observation deck is free to visit and accessible daily, though maintenance days do occur periodically. It is best to visit on clear days for the clearest views across the region.
From the southwest corner of the deck, Mount Fuji appears optically closer to the Tokyo Skytree than it actually is. This visual trick occurs due to perspective and how light plays at certain times of day.
