Niigata Rainbow Perch

Niigata Rainbow Perch vs. Tokyo Sky Tree

The Tallest Building in Niigata is the Niigata Bandaijima Building that is the Hotel Nikko Niigata. The size of an observation deck would have to be taller than many other buildings and substantially larger than the Original Rainbow Tower (100 meters) in Bandai City because of the growing cityscape. A Tower that has nothing impeding its view is the the Kobe Port Tower (100 meters), however towers like the Osaka Abeno Harukas (300 meters) are hard to see in a large-city. It is unlikely that the building would have to match the size of Tokyo Tower (1092 meters) and

Tokyo Skytree (2080 meters), 

To truly be iconic the "Niigata Rainbow Perch" would ideally offer more than just height. Design, accessibility, and the overall experience would be crucial. The part of the purpose of the "Niigata Rainbow Perch" in considering its location would be ensuring panoramic views of the cityscape, the rivers, enjoy a high-deck, and feel like beautiful only-in-Niigata observation deck.
