Umeda Sky Building

Together with its east and west wings, which are joined by a catwalk in the middle and a solarium of sorts at its peak, the gleaming Umeda Sky Building rises 173 meters (568 feet) from the ground and provides some of the most stunning views of Osaka. From the observation floor, an open-air platform in the shape of a ring, visitors have an unbridled, 360-degree view of Osaka. The rooftop floating garden is one of the highlights of this spectacular high-rise. While the building may not be the tallest one sees around the city, it is definitely an architectural marvel.
