What other travelers are saying about Umeda Sky Building
The view from the building is a breathtaking experience that showcases the city’s grandeur from an unparalleled vantage point. Standing atop these iconic structures, you’re treated to a panoramic view that stretches far beyond the urban skyline and basically the whole of Osaka, offering a stunning mix of modern architecture, calm lakes and distant horizons. Even though I don't think this is the tallest building of Osaka, this building can see the split of old buildings in contrast to newer sky towers. The sheer magnificence of the vista and the chance to see the city from such a historic landmark make this an unforgettable highlight of any trip. First we went up an elevator with a breathtaking view for free. Then arrived on a really nice platform then you only have to pay a little bit to go on a really nice elevator and see the whole city! Really nice cafe as well, mocha has too much ice though. 5/5 :fire:
An absolutely massive building towering with a hole in the middle. We didn’t go up as there was a huge line but we did enjoy the Christmas Market (visited on 1 Dec) which was very merry and festive. Free event to enter but long wait for food and drinks served from food trucks. Honestly felt a bit odd going to Japan and having western food truck food but they had as per usual added their Japanese style to it with alcoholic hot chocolate and cherry beer. There were many large picnic tables to share with other patrons but it was nice cold and festive sitting under this behemoth building watching a Christmas tree playing music and a light show in the middle.
Definitely worth a visit to get a great panoramic view of Osaka. You need to get up to the 34th floor to buy tickets. There is a restaurant where you can get quick food with a view for very reasonable prices. It can just be very busy on weekends so you might have to wait to get a table
I really liked this activity. It's the best way to have a beautiful view of Osaka. You can stay as long as you want. We went before dinner to enjoy the day and the night. If you do the same, I recommend you eat something before, because we were starting to get hungry for dinner and the food is extremely expensive. If you go in the evening, you have to expect the ton of tourists who go for sunset, I think it's the busiest time. It was frustrating, because the tourists stayed at the same place for 30 minutes to watch the entire sunset and didn't share the view with others, so if you arrive too late, you won't see anything. That's how it is... The glass staircase is really great. I advise you to take advantage of it for the climb and take your photos for the descent, because it is fast and on the climb you will have lots of people behind the photo with the angle of view. Employees speak really well in English. No need to buy a ticket in advance.
What a beautiful building and view from the top.
The Umeda Sky Building is a fantastic was to see the city from up high, it was wonderful to go up the escalators and the lift taking you over 140m.
At the top there is a price to go higher but you could have a short view at the free level. I highly recommend going to the top. I booked on Klook but it would be possible to visit without a booking. Use code: MSKJJC to get £4 off, seriously worth it!
There is a Chinese restaurant near the top as well as some cute shops and a cafe which actually not overpriced.
