Umeda Sky Building: Can overlook the city of Osaka from the Hanging Gardens

Umeda Sky Building is approximately 173 meters tall and consists of two buildings that connect at the top. In 2008, in Times Media, in the UK, it was featured as “one of the top 20 buildings in the world,” together with the Parthenon in Athens and the Sydney Opera House.

The building is 40 stories tall. On the uppermost floor is an observatory known as the Floating Garden.

First go up to the 35th floor using the elevator then switch to the escalator.

The walls beside this long escalator are transparent, allowing you to enjoy the view outside.

Purchase your tickets at the ticket booth on the 39th floor then go straight up to the observatory.
I’m sure you’ll be impressed with the view over Osaka from the observatory.

You’ll see countless buildings and Osaka’s largest river, the Yodo River.

You’ll also notice the Grand Front Osaka, completed in 2013, next door.

If would be a waste not to visit observatory with your lover or with your spouse.
The reason I say that is because of this spot.

What a spot to sit together and take a souvenir photo!

You’ll find many heart-shaped locks on the fence behind the bench.
Countless numbers of lovers and married couples have had their names engraved on the heart-shaped locks before attaching them to the fence.
You can buy these heart-shaped locks on the 29th floor.

The night view from the observatory is also incredibly beautiful.

I’m sure that you’ll enjoy a wonderful time visiting Umeda Sky Building with your lover while in Osaka.
Please do visit Umeda Sky Building and enjoy the view from the observatory.
