Oasis 21, opened in 2002 in Sakae, Nagoya, stands next to Nagoya TV Tower, in front of the Aichi Arts Center and facing Hisaya Ōdori Park. Most of it is underground, with restaurants, shops, a bus terminal and tourist information. Its roof is a large oval of glass that seems to float above street level; it holds water, both for the look and to cool the shopping area and the event space below, called Milky Way Square, in summer.
Sakaemachi Station on the Meitetsu Seto Line is about 50 m away. Nagoya City Science Museum is about 1.1 km away and Nagoya Castle about 1.9 km.
