What makes this place special?

At a Glance

Namba Parks is an office and shopping complex in Namba, Osaka, just south of Nankai Namba Station. It combines a 120-tenant mall and the Parks Tower office building with a terraced rooftop garden that rises from the third to the ninth floor.

The building stands on the site of the former Osaka Stadium, once home to the Nankai Hawks baseball team and demolished in 1998. A plate marking the old home plate is set into the second floor. Its canyon-like exterior, designed by Jon Jerde, evokes layers of rock, and the gardens hold trees, rocks, streams, waterfalls and ponds. The first phase opened in 2003 and the second in 2007, and CNN named the rooftop park among the ten most beautiful sky gardens in the world in 2014.
