Umeda Sky Building

Absolutely breathtaking views of Osaka from the top. The 360° open-air deck gives a stunning panorama, especially during sunset and night when the city lights come alive. The floating escalators leading up to the observatory are a unique experience on their own—like ascending into the sky. The design of the building is futuristic yet elegant. Everything felt well-organized and clean. There’s a nice café and souvenir shop up top too. A must-visit if you're in Osaka—even better if you time it for golden hour.

Great view of Osaka. Interesting structure. Be sure to visit incl the digital art museum. Take lunch or dinner after the visit as restaurants on the B1 floor offer 10% discount with the observatory ticket. Interesting Mazda showroom at street level.

The Umeda sky buildings in this new economic district have a beautiful view of Osaka, the whole city. The journey is very convenient, and there are many shopping options to choose from. I recommend booking in advance for convenience and speed. And most importantly, don't forget to use the amazing pass to receive various privileges.

Beautiful view of Osaka. There is cafe on the top floor. Indoor and outdoor viewing. The architecture is amazing. You can take the elevator to the ticketing floor and turn around if you don't want to spend $$$ on tickets. We purchased the tickets but not worth the price IMHO.

I wasn’t able to go up this time, but I’m sure the view is really good. The building itself is already impressive from the outside with its unique design. Definitely planning to visit the observatory once I’m back in Osaka!

1/2025 A really unexpectedly nice place to spend part of your day. It's a brisk walk from the nearest train station but manageable. There are sights to see one the walk from the train station. I'm sorry i didn't notate the names of the station but I've included to and from pics from Umeda Sky. You can catch the Tom & Jerry train after you're done right across the way. A pleasant surprise. My friend took to the top while I indulged and relaxed at the mini theater, cafe, and restaurants.

Pre-purchased our tickets on Klook, however when you get up to level 35 you have to exchange them for the actual physical tickets. Easy signage. The elevator up is quite stunning, hot tip: when you get off the elevator be the last on behind everyone else and you’ll be able to take as many shots without any one behind. Stunning views of Osaka. If you would like a love lock to be done, recommend to book in advance and they didn’t allow us to purchase one. Overall beautiful views and a quick walk from the train station.

Went with no major expectations. Was pleasantly surprised about how awesome the view was from the skyscraper at night. Also was genuinely interested to learn about the history, architecture and vision behind the building. There was also a Genahin Impact exhibition at the time of our visit which was also somewhat interesting.
