Presumably hoping to get visitors’ minds off the scorching summer heat, the Umeda Sky Building is holding a special deep-sea-themed exhibition in its Floating Garden Observatory on the 40th floor. From July 13 to August 31, you can enjoy views of Osaka from 173 metres above ground while being surrounded by decorations of jellyfish and other sea life.
The exhibition also features a range of floral arrangements in styles that highlight and complement the underwater theme. These decorations and installations come together to create an illusion of being suspended in a floating bubble of water – allowing for some interesting perspectives and plenty of wonder when observing the sights of the bustling city below.
During the event, the observatory’s café will be selling a limited-edition parfait that features coral- and seashell-shaped confectionery on top of vanilla soft serve – just the sweet treat to enjoy while taking in the view. Tickets to the observatory can be purchased at the door.
