What to expect

Visit the iconic Umeda Sky Building and head up to the Floating Garden Observatory, one of Japan’s renowned open-air rooftop observation decks. Located 173 meters above ground, the observatory offers breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views of Osaka’s cityscape. Take a relaxing break at cafe SKY 40 on the 40th floor, where you can enjoy an original drink while admiring the beautiful sunset. As evening falls, stroll along the Lumi Sky Walk, a starry-lit rooftop walkway where you can enjoy the sparkling atmosphere and stunning nighttime views of Osaka.

Depending on your selected plan, you can also enjoy unique experiences at the observatory, such as the colorful Heart Lock, which can be engraved with your name and date and attached to the Promise Fence, or the popular Color Pop Soda Float topped with soft-serve ice cream and sparkling star decorations. For a special experience, selected plans include Martini Brut sparkling wine, home-roasted almonds, and dried fruits, allowing you to relax and enjoy the panoramic city views with your loved ones, friends, or family.
