Easy entry. Incredible building. I was there the year it opened in 1993 and the memory has always stuck with me. I was able to take my husband with me this time and he too enjoyed it. Great views and amazing architecture.

We visited Umeda Sky in our very last day in Japan and what a way to end our trip. The views are great and the outside deck is wild. It was very windy but it added a little thrill to our day. 😃 The cafe and gift shop are great and added something extra to out visit.

Watching the sunset from the Kuchu Teien Observatory was the highlight of my trip to Osaka. The 360-degree open-air deck offers a breathtaking view you won't find elsewhere. Seeing the sun dip below the horizon and reflect off the Yodo River in shades of gold and orange is pure magic. The futuristic architecture and the "floating" escalators make the experience even more unique. As the city lights flicker on, the atmosphere becomes truly electric. A must-see! Arrive early to catch the full transition from day to night.

Umeda sky was so cool, perfect for indoor sight seeing, perfect for family vacation. We had someone assisted us with a stroller up the elevator. My family enjoyed

View was great. Also bmnice that ee were allowed to choose when we get there all over the day. The only thing we had trouble with was finding the right entrance. We went up with an elevator from the wrong site of the building, which was actually good, cause we passed the waiting line by accident and had a faster entry. Thank you very much. Best regards

The view from the top is beautiful, as is the building’s design, with its transparent escalators and elevator leading to the top. We managed to be there at sunset, just as the first lights were coming on.

    Smooth entry and wonderful view of Osaka!
  • Enjoy a panoramic view of the port city of Osaka from the Kuchu Teien Observatory Deck. Take in the mesmerizing views as you walk through the gallery, perfect for a photo-op. The “Kuchu Teien Observatory of the Umeda Sky Building” is a landmark of Umeda, Osaka, and an observatory facility comprising 3 floors (39th, 40th, rooftop). In addition, another popular photo spot is its see-through escalator that goes from the 35th to the 39th floor. Inside the observatory deck on the 40th floor is a 35-meter-long glass counter where visitors can enjoy some tea while feeling as if they are floating in the sky. In addition, there is a 360-degree open-air view from the rooftop observatory floor that anyone would find incredible in any season and at any time of day.

    Take a gander at the magnificent architecture of this building. This building consists of two 40-story towers connected to each other from their uppermost stories. Have a jolly good time as you complete your trip to Osaka witnessing the beautiful skyline of the commercial center of Honshu.
