Umeda Sky Building Tickets: Floating Garden Observatory, Osaka
Umeda Sky Building, Kita ward, Osaka. Ticket counter on the 39th floor.
Overview
Twin towers joined at the top by an open-air ring 173 metres above Osaka, reached by an escalator that crosses the gap in mid air. One of the few rooftop observatories in Japan with no glass between you and the view.
- The Floating Garden Observatory: a full open-air circuit at 173 metres, 360 degrees over Osaka Bay and the city grid.
- The glass escalator between the towers, suspended in the open air.
- Hiroshi Hara's twin tower design, a landmark of modern Osaka.
- Sunset here is on Japan's list of 100 best, and the Lumi Sky Walk lights up after dark.
