What other travelers are saying about Abeno Harukas Observatory
I only had two days in Osaka but am glad I had Abeno Harikus on my list of places to visit. The view was superb. A little pricey but at least I didn't have to wait in a queue to get in. The experience was definitely worth the 2000 yen. Next time I'll go at night.
Trivia: I’ve read it’s the tallest building in Japan from 2014 until 2023. A definite must-see! We spent a good amount of time here! Marvelled by the 360 view of the city 300m above ground, walked around, chilled and drank coffee, did some photo-ops for the whole fam. This skyscraper’s observation deck is so extensive. There were a lot of people but it never felt crowded. Edge The Harukas — their sky walk activity available by schedule or if weather is permitting. I just loved that after all the walking that we did in the morning, this was our last stop. We got to enjoy the Osaka breeze at night and had some down time before going back to our hostel.
Tallest observatory tower in Osaka. Came here at 8pm on a weekday, and there was no lineup but I missed the beautiful sunset scene. If you want to take advantage of both the twilight and night view, then time your visit. There is a bit of light effect while taking the elevator up to the 60F and that was interesting.
The top deck viewing platform consists of several floors with chances to shop at a souvenir shop and eat in the middle of the observatory.
It's beautiful at sunset!
You also have the chance to get a photo done for free in a black&white newspaper style or printed in color against a fee.
The view was breathtaking , and it wasn’t too busy the day we went. Stayed past sunset and it’s stunning! Highly recommend this one over the Umeda Sky Garden if you have to choose one.
