Umeda Sky Building
The Umeda Sky Building is a 40-story skyscraper located in the Umeda area of Osaka, standing at 173 meters tall, and was completed in 1993. This building was designed by the world-renowned architect Hiroshi Hara and was selected as one of the "Top 20 Architectures in the World" by the British information paper "THE TIMES."
The main attraction is the "Floating Garden Observatory," which comprises the 39th and 40th floors, as well as the rooftop. From here, visitors can enjoy a stunning 360-degree view of Osaka's beautiful skyline. Particularly from the 40th floor's 35-meter long glass counter, the view gives a sensation of floating in the sky. Furthermore, the open-air observatory on the rooftop allows guests to enjoy the incredible scenery while being gently caressed by the breeze.
Additionally, the transparent escalator connecting the 39th and 40th floors has become a popular photo spot due to its see-through design. The beverage options range from beer to colorful soda floats, providing a refreshing experience while enjoying an extraordinary setting.
Conveniently located just a 10-minute walk from Osaka Station, the Umeda Sky Building is surrounded by numerous events, restaurants, and shops, making it an excellent spot not only for sightseeing but also for shopping and dining. It is a must-visit landmark in Osaka, and we invite you to take advantage of this great opportunity to come and see it for yourself.
