What makes this place special?
At a Glance
The Umeda Sky Building is a two-tower skyscraper in the Shin-Umeda City complex in Kita ward, Osaka, completed in 1993. Its two 40-story towers rise to about 175 metres and are joined at the top by a ring-shaped sky deck, with glass escalators and elevators crossing an open atrium. Architect Hiroshi Hara designed it as a modern landmark and a vision of a floating city.
The main draw is the Floating Garden Observatory on the roof, about 168.7 metres up. It is open-air and gives 360-degree views over the Umeda skyscrapers, the Yodo River and distant mountains. The sky deck was built on the ground and then lifted into place. In the basement, Takimi-koji recreates an Osaka street of food stalls from the early 20th century, and gardens with water features and walking paths lie at the base of the towers.
