UMEDA SKY BUILDING
Umeda Sky Building (梅田スカイビル).
1-1-20 Oyodonaka, Kita-ku (10 min on foot from JR Osaka
or Hankyu Umeda),
Built in an attempt to upgrade Osaka's somewhat downbeat Kita
district, the project wasn't quite the hoped-for commercial success
but this bizarrely shaped 40-story, 173-meter building is still a city
landmark. Take the escalator through midair to the rooftop observatory
for an open-air view of Osaka, which is particularly impressive on a
clear night. Observatory admission ¥700, open 10 AM to 10:30 PM daily
(entry until 10 PM, varies by season).
