Gifu City Tower 43, Skyscraper and shopping complex in Gifu, Japan.
Description
Gifu City Tower 43 is a 43-story skyscraper with an integrated shopping center in Gifu, Japan. The building houses residential apartments, commercial shops, medical facilities, and broadcasting studios throughout its floors.
History
Planning for the tower started in the 1980s but was delayed by economic shifts during the following decade. The building finally opened in October 2007, marking a period of urban renewal for the city.
Culture
The tower's design incorporates local symbols: the hollow center represents the character for 'well,' while horizontal lines echo traditional Gifu lanterns. You notice these details when looking at the structure and feel the connection to the city's identity.
Practical
The observation deck on the 43rd floor is reached quickly by fast elevators and offers panoramic views of Gifu and the Nobi Plain. The building also contains shops and restaurants, allowing you to spend time comfortably within one location.
Did you know?
The building uses an advanced earthquake dampening system that significantly reduces structural movement during strong earthquakes. This technology protects both the structure and visitors, making it one of the safer places to be during seismic events.
