Umeda Sky Building’s rooftop is open to the air, a ring 173 metres up bridging two towers, and it’s at its best at sunset. Abeno Harukas is taller at 300 metres and fully glassed in, so it’s the one to pick on a cold or windy day.
See Osaka from the Umeda Sky Building’s open-air observatory, with practical tips on timing, queues, tickets, and optional extras.
