Highlights of Umeda Sky Building

Born in 1993 as the world's first connected skyscraper complex and inspired by the legend of the hanging gardens of Babylon, Umeda Sky Building was named one of the world’s top 20 buildings alongside the Taj Mahal and Sagrada Familia by the British newspaper "The Times" in 2008. It was the only Japanese building listed. Since then, Umeda Sky Building has been praised by architects worldwide and continues to draw attention as one of Osaka’s most famous landmarks. In addition to the much-acclaimed Floating Garden Observatory on top, there are restaurants, bars, an art museum, a movie theater and other features to keep visitors satisfied all day long. Seasonal events are also held outdoors at "Wonder Square" in the space between the towers.

It’s a must-see for tourists, with photogenic attractions including a spectacular “see through” escalator connecting the 35th and 39th floors and an open-air "Sky Walk" on the rooftop.
New Satoyama

Based on the theme of living together with nature, Japanese village-type Satoyama greenery was recreated around Umeda Sky Building, in the center of the city, so everyone can experience nature throughout the changing seasons even in the city.
