What other travelers are saying about Umeda Sky Building
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.
Great 360 view from rooftop observatory. There are both outdoor (rooftop) observatory and indoor (downstairs) one. The indoor observatory has cafe with light dining plates. Some snacks to spaghetti. Several sweets. They even serve some alcohol drinks. They open till late and all generations of customers can appreciate that.
The Umeda Sky Building is a distinctive skyscraper in Osaka, Japan, located near Osaka and Umeda stations. Standing at 173 meters, it comprises two 40-story towers connected at the top by the "Floating Garden Observatory," offering panoramic city views.
The building's unique design features glass-enclosed escalators and bridges that cross an open atrium, creating a futuristic appearance. The ground level includes a garden with walking trails, providing a serene environment amidst the urban landscape.
The Umeda Sky Building has a total of 130 floors and features high-speed elevators for convenience. The top floor is uniquely designed with a blue floor adorned with white illuminated dots, creating a stunning visual effect. From the top, visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of the river, bridges, and metro trains below.
The Umeda Sky Building is a popular tourist attraction, known for its architectural innovation and as a symbol of Osaka's modernization. Visitors can enjoy the observatory, dine in various restaurants, and explore the urban garden, making it a multifaceted destination in the heart of the city.
Such a cool building from the inside and out! I love that the observatory is actually outside so you can an unobstructed view of the city without the window panes! It gets crowded fairly easily and not a ton of space but the floor outside on top glows and has a space theme, it’s pretty cool!
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:
