Enjoy the spectacular view of Umeda at the Hanging Garden in Osaka!（Umeda Sky Bldg.）

 Hello, this is Okyo.


The Umeda area of Osaka is a popular spot visited by many people.


Of particular note is the hanging garden at the Umeda Sky Building.


I would like to introduce this wonderful place to you.








Umeda Sky Building


The Umeda Sky Building is a landmark skyscraper located in the Umeda district of Osaka.


It is approximately 175.295 meters high, with 40 floors above ground and two below, and was completed in March 1993.


The building is well known by many tourists and locals for its unique design.


Together with the Westin Hotel Osaka, which stands next to it, it constitutes the Shin-Umeda City.




Hanging Garden Observation Deck


At the top of the building is the Hanging Garden Observation Deck, which offers a panoramic view of Osaka City from a height of 168.7 meters above the ground.


This observatory offers a 360-degree panoramic view and is especially beautiful when visited at sunset.


Many people find this spot an ideal place for dates and sightseeing.




A respite from the hustle and bustle of the city


The hanging garden is a soothing place for visitors to relax and feel the breeze, even though it is located in the center of the city.




Features of the Umeda Sky Building


The Umeda Sky Building is not only beautiful on the outside, but also attractive on the inside.


It houses a variety of restaurants and stores to entertain visitors.


It also has an event space where seasonal events are sometimes held.


The area is also convenient for tourists, with many commercial facilities such as Grand Front Osaka, Grand Green Osaka, and KITTE Osaka in the vicinity.


The first basement floor is home to Takimi-koji, a restaurant district that recreates a townscape from the early Showa period (circa 1926-1940).



Special events will be held.


Since the Honorary Consulate General of Mexico and the Consulate General of Germany are located in the building, festivals sponsored by each consulate are usually held at the “Wonder Square” plaza on the first floor (Fiesta Mexicana, German Christmas Market).




Umeda Sky Building Trivia


The Umeda Sky Building is now a familiar landmark in Osaka.


It is the world's first connected skyscraper, designed by Hiroshi Hara, known for his work on the Kyoto Station Building and Sapporo Dome, and is characterized by its unique design.


This location is the site of the founding of Daihatsu Motor Company (at the time of its founding, it was Engine Manufacturing Co,

In front of the building is the Umeda Freight Station (now Grand Green Osaka), and the surrounding area was home to factories and buildings related to the Hanshin Department Store, but it was transformed into a commercial area through redevelopment beginning in the 1980s.


The Umeda Sky Building was also created as part of this trend and serves as a symbol of the area.


On July 2, 1993, the hanging garden was opened to the public and has become a favorite spot for many tourists and locals.


The location is used not only for sightseeing, but also for business, events, and film shoots, adding to the Umeda Sky Building's appeal.


It was selected as one of the “TOP 20 BUILDINGS AROUND THE WORLD” by the British publication Dorling Kindersley, along with such famous historical buildings as the Parthenon in Athens and the Colosseum in Rome.






Points to note


The Hanging Gardens are mostly outdoors and are greatly affected by the weather.


On a clear day, the views are spectacular, but on cloudy or rainy days, visibility may be poor and the views may not be as spectacular as expected.


Especially due to its height, the temperature may be cool to the touch even in early summer.


Please be careful of the weather on the day of your visit.

Japan is packed in Umeda, Osaka! KITTE Osaka

 Hello, this is Okyo. This time I would like to write about “KITTE Osaka,” which opened last summer. What is KITTE Osaka? KITTE Osaka is a commercial complex that opened in front of Osaka Station in July 2024. It is located on the first basement to the sixth floor of JP Tower Osaka, a building constructed on the site of the former Osaka Central Post Office. It is part of the “KITTE” brand operated by Japan Post, and was established in Osaka following Marunouchi and Nagoya in Tokyo. The name “KITTE” is derived from the Japan Post's postage stamps (kitte), and it expresses our desire to be a facility that can deliver the feelings that are put into products and services by adding the value of “KITTE” to them, just as you deliver a letter (thought) to your loved ones by affixing a postage stamp to it.
