About the Rinku Gate Tower Building
In Rinku Town, Izumisano, Osaka, the Rinku Gate Tower Building rises 256 m (840 ft) over 56 stories. Nikken Sekkei and Yasui Architects & Engineers designed it, and it was completed in August 1996. The tower is made of three stacked parts: the lowest holds an international conference hall, the middle holds offices for businesses, and the slender top part is a hotel.
The hotel stands at the end of the Sky Gate Bridge, which runs to Kansai International Airport, and it connects to Rinkū Town Station on the JR Hanwa Line and the Nankai Main Line. The building has an observation level with views of the ocean, the bridge and Rinku Town's Ferris wheel. Two underground floors form a car park with 365 spaces.
The idea arose in the mid-1980s while Kansai International Airport was being planned. First came a plan for twin towers that together would act as a "gate" to the airport. Building started in 1992, once the Japanese asset price bubble had burst, and the plan for a second tower was scrapped.
