The new observatory "SKY CIRCUS Sunshine 60 Observatory" (Sky Circus Sunshine 60 Observatory), where you can experience the view and height in various ways, will be fully renovated on April 21, 2016 (Thursday).

Based on the concept of "SKY CIRCUS", this facility has evolved from a "viewing platform" to a "experienceable viewing platform", with VR technology and 4D experiences, interactive animations, CG animations, and more. With the latest technology, we have created an observatory unlike any other in the world, where you can enjoy the view and play with technology.

We planned and produced this project jointly with Dentsu.

The Infinite Reflection Video Tunnel "Infinite Scape," which projects images expressing the changes of Japan's four seasons through a giant kaleidoscope-like tunnel of light and mirrors.

As part of NOMURA Group, Nomura Development Co., Ltd. was in charge of operating and managing the "SKY CIRCUS SHOP" shop and "Cafe Quu Quu Quu," Nomura Techno Co., Ltd. was in charge of the technical system for the presentation equipment, and Nomura Products Co., Ltd. was in charge of interiors construction, utilizing our comprehensive capabilities to create an observation deck unlike any other in the world.

<Customer's voice>

This project was not a typical observation deck renovation to simply clean up the interiors environment, but rather a project to create new value for the observation deck; it was a difficult project to create something from scratch.
Therefore, what we wanted as a client was new ideas that would entertain, surprise and delight our customers.
Rather than simply making one-sided proposals, we engaged in free and open discussions within the project team, and sometimes even presented criticism to the client. By working together with enthusiasm to create a product, we were able to successfully meet our requirements.
It was a great experience for us to try a new renewal method that differs from previous competition-style renewals.
