The tallest building in the prefecture (213 m), shaped like a harmonica: a terrace on the 45th floor.

The panoramic corridor runs round the 45th floor of the Act City tower, at 213 metres the tallest building in Shizuoka Prefecture: since 1994 the tower has also housed the Okura hotel on its top seventeen floors. The outline of the building recalls a harmonica, in tribute to Hamamatsu's musical instrument makers: Yamaha, Roland, Kawai and Tokai. A wedding in the chapel on that floor can close the south side of the corridor for a while.

The Act City tower is 213 metres tall, with 45 floors, and is the tallest building in Shizuoka Prefecture. Built in 1994, the tower houses the Okura Act City Hamamatsu hotel on its top seventeen floors; the terrace of the panoramic corridor is 185 metres above the ground.
