Abeno Harukas “Harukas Bungee VR”
“Harukas Bungee VR” is a VR attraction that can be experienced at “Harukas 300,” the observation deck of the high-rise building Abeno Harukas (300m above ground). When you put on the VR headset, you will start experiencing a video of a bungee jump, diving from the top of Harukas towards the city of Osaka. Although you are actually in the safety of a room, the realistic video of the Osaka cityscape spreading out below and the ground closing in, combined with the operator’s powerful shouts, will give you a sense of realism just like a real bungee jump.
Two types of programs are available. The “Spectacular View Thrill Course” is, as the name suggests, a thrilling screaming experience from the very top, with exhilarating footage of a free fall that will send shivers down your spine. On the other hand, the “Panoramic View Enjoyment Course” involves a drop from a middle floor, so the focus is more on enjoying the spectacular panoramic view of Osaka than on the fear, making it a more accessible experience for those who are not fond of heights or thrills, as well as families.

“NAKED AQUA FANTASIA” is an immersive 360-degree projection mapping show created by the creative company NAKED, INC., held at the 90-meter indoor observation deck “Sky Deck” of Nagoya’s landmark “Chubu Electric Power MIRAI TOWER”. Without using VR headsets, you will embark on a light-filled underwater adventure with orcas and other marine creatures in a space where Nagoya’s actual night view and digital art overlap. The 360-degree video projection utilizing the observation deck’s windows, floor, and ceiling creates an immersive experience that makes you feel as if you’ve stepped into the ocean.
The main show unfolds a story of underwater travel, using the orca, a creature deeply rooted in local culture, as a motif, including the golden shachihoko (mythical fish-like creature) of Nagoya Castle. During the event, there will also be a special dance time where the entire venue is enveloped in light and ocean-themed effects synchronized with music. Furthermore, in the area north of the observation deck, there will be an interactive content called “Bubble Buddies” where sea creatures appear one after another from behind bubbles when you stand in front of the windows. This participatory performance that reacts to the movements of visitors is a summer-only night entertainment that can be intuitively enjoyed by families.
