The World Cosplay Championship will be held at the "Milky Way Plaza" in the center of the Oasis21 complex.There will be a number of events taking place here.
There are various shops surrounding the "Milky Way Plaza". You may enter all of the shops dressed in your cosplay costume except for, Donguri Kyouwakoku & the NHK character shop.However summer time is a busy season and there will be many other people in and around Oasis21 so we should be on our best behavior.
*It is prohibited to take photos with the shops/stands in the background.

You are free to roam around in costume within the Oasis21 facilities. There are many ideal photo spots such as the sloping 2nd floor park "Green Landscapes" and the suspended glass pavilion roof the "Floating Lake". If you decide to go up to the “Floating Lake” when you get to the rooftop you will be treated to a great panoramic shot of Nagoya with its most famous symbol - the TV tower - directly in the background.
