What other travelers are saying about Umeda Sky Building
Very nice place to see all of Osaka from a great height. Great for taking pictures of the city and of yourselves for instagram.
I really enjoyed learning about the various ancient high rises through history, and the architectural perspective behind the design.
There is also a lover’s lock wall for couples to leave behind memories of their commitment.
A fun attraction to visit while in Osaka! It gives you a nice view of the northern skyline in Osaka.
The architecture of the building is also a marvel. We spent abt 2 hours here. The open air observatory at the top is rare for Japan skyscraper observatory- and its well worth it.
We recommend buying your ticket online. Once you do - you'll still need to line up with everyone else to take the elevators up to the top where you officially enter the observatory. Having an online ticket cuts down the time slightly.
The view from the top top was really cool. You can walk 360° around the viewing platform. You get elevator ride Up and then escalator across the middle of the building to floor with views and Cafe and information on building and you then walk up few steps to viewing platform.

This was so much fun—highly recommend. If you buy through Klook and are travelling with a partner or spouse, book the ticket with the lock option so you can have your names engraved and leave it up on the deck. They don’t let you buy the locks there without a previously purchased order. We went about an hour before sunset, which left plenty of time to get in (it was busy on a Saturday) and get settled before the most beautiful hour of the day. We got a drink downstairs and then went back up once the sun had properly set, and they have stars and planets illuminated on the walkway. Stunning.
