What other travelers are saying about Umeda Sky Building
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.
One of the best panoramic views I’ve ever experienced! The Umeda Sky Building offers an incredible view of Osaka from its floating observatory, and it’s very accessible. The entrance fee is quite affordable, making it a must-visit for anyone who loves breathtaking cityscapes. You can see a perfect, uninterrupted view of Osaka’s skyline, which is absolutely stunning, especially at sunset. The open-air deck is an amazing spot to just sit and take it all in.
However, it does get really hot during the summer, and I found myself looking for some shade after a while. Despite the heat, it was worth every moment, and I could stay there for hours just soaking in the view. I’m hoping to come back someday during the winter season when it’s cooler and enjoy the view under different conditions. If you’re ever in Osaka, this is definitely a place you don’t want to miss!
Best place to have a view of the city of Osaka during day or night. I highly suggest going there during the night as you'll see the city shine everywhere. The price is about 20$ but worth it if you haven't seen the city from a high ground.
Our night tour of the Umeda Sky was amazing. The lights of the city go so far into the distance. The floor you walk along glows in the dark and adds more to the atmosphere. The line was long. It went very quick
This place has epic views of the city, especially at night. Was definitely worth the visit.
It wasn't as crowded as I expected and the observatory itself has a cool design.
You don't need an advance reservation, although we went about an hour to closing so I'm not sure how it is earlier.
