Osaka Umeda Sky Building (大阪梅田スカイビル)
The Umeda Sky Building, also known as Floating Garden Observatory, is a 360-degree magnificent view from 40F, 173 meters off the ground where you can feel the wind directly. On sunny clear days, you may be able to see as far as Awaji Island and Akashi Bridge. The spectacular views of the Osaka city through the windows or from its open air deck is just breathtaking.
