Osaka from Above: Umeda Sky Building & HEP Five Ride

In this short but unforgettable journey through Osaka, we rise above the city’s pulse—twice. From futuristic skywalks to a glowing red Ferris wheel, this half-day itinerary blends architectural wonder with playful nostalgia.

Kuchu Teien Observatory – Nicknamed the “Floating Garden,” this observatory crowns the Umeda Sky Building with a 360° open-air rooftop view. Suspended between two towers 170 meters above ground, it offers a surreal panorama of Osaka’s skyline—where ancient temples meet modern skyscrapers. Don’t miss the glass escalators and the circular skywalk that makes you feel like you’re walking on air.

HEP Five Ferris Wheel – Built atop a shopping mall in Umeda, this iconic red Ferris wheel soars 106 meters into the sky. Each air-conditioned gondola offers sweeping views of Osaka Castle, distant mountains, and the city’s glittering lights. Whether day or night, it’s a ride that turns the city into a dreamscape.
