What other travelers are saying about Umeda Sky Building
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.
The Umeda Sky Building is one of Osaka’s most iconic landmarks — and for good reason! The design is futuristic and striking, with two towers connected at the top by an open-air observatory. The view from the Floating Garden Observatory is absolutely stunning, especially at sunset when the city lights start to twinkle. You can see all of Osaka from up there! The glass elevators and escalators between the towers give you a thrilling experience, too. There are also cafes and shops below, so it’s easy to spend a couple of hours here. A must-see for anyone exploring Osaka!
Umeda Sky Building has the best views in Osaka. If you purchase the Amazing Pass, entry is one of the included activities and worth every penny. The glass elevator ride to one of the top floors is a bit intimidating but is also a testament to the true beauty and amazement in architectural design. Once up top, two glass encased escalators carry you between buildings as you look down from the suspended view. The roof offers great views of Osaka and gives you plenty of photo opportunities. They also have a love lock wall where you can hang your own lock. The Sky Building is conveniently located just a quick 5 minute walk from the Umeda Shopping District. One of the first attractions we did in Osaka and well worth it.
Awesome views of the city of Osaka. The ride up and down the suspended escalators is breathtaking. The elevator is jammed a little bit too much for American personal space norms but it is a quick and enjoyable ride. The Cafe in the atrium has unique drinks and treats as well as regular beverage choices. Very affordable prices for a captive audience setting. Plenty of tables near the floor to ceiling windows to enjoy the view while consuming your snack. The roof top observation deck was absolutely the highlight of this visit.
Good views of the city, good day activity for those who have spent more time in Osaka and need something small to do. It is a great way to spend some time around Umeda Sky building and go shopping in the station. Definitely something that might be over blown and a bit touristy, but I had one last afternoon in Osaka and spent it around this area and it was fine. I would not make a special trip for this as it was purely for tourism. I went on a random weekday in the middle of the afternoon around 1 or 2 PM and it was not busy but I can imagine at Sunset it gets busy and on the weekends.
