Gold Tower, Observation tower in Utazu, Japan

The Gold Tower reaches a height of 158 meters, featuring 7,000 half-mirrors on its exterior that reflect sunlight across the surrounding area.

The Gold Tower marked a new era in Utazu's development when it opened in March 1988 as part of the city's modernization initiatives.

The tower houses Sorakin, an elevated aquarium combining traditional Japanese goldfish displays with mirror installations and contemporary art exhibitions.

Visitors can access the tower by taking an 8-minute walk from JR Utazu Station or a 10-minute drive from Sakaide North Interchange.

The tower's observation floors include specialized zones where tropical fish swim against the backdrop of the Seto Inland Sea panorama.
