THE UMEDA SKY BUILDING

Along with many ancient temples and museums, beautiful parks and verdant scenery, the city is also known for its stunning architecture. And one of the best places to visit in Osaka when it comes to architectural wonders, is the Umeda Sky Building. A fine example of modern architecture, the Umeda Sky Building consists of two tall office towers that are joined at the top by a platform.

This platform at the top is the main attraction of the tower, and offers scintillating views of the city located over 170 metres down below. The tower also has a rooftop observatory and garden, known as the Floating Garden Observatory, in addition to an urban garden at its base and an underground market that resembles the early 20th century Osaka.
