The Umeda Sky Building, an iconic Osaka landmark designed by architect Hiroshi Hara, combines futuristic design with breathtaking views. Its twin towers, connected by the Kuchu Teien Observatory on the 39th–40th floors, offer 360-degree panoramas of Osaka, including landmarks like Osaka Bay and Mount Rokko. Visitors ascend via a glass lift and a thrilling transparent escalator suspended 173 metres above ground. At sunset, the rooftop Sky Walk transforms into a golden vista, while nighttime features the Lumi Sky Walk, a starlit pathway. Romantic touches include heart-shaped padlocks for couples, and beneath the towers lies Takimi Koji, a retro underground mall recreating 1900s Osaka.
