 Beautiful Art at Umeda
Skybuilding Ground Floor by freddie18, 2 more photos
Take a look at those carved pieces and other display of unique works at the ground floor. Let me know what you think of them. To me, I appreciate my half hour sitting and watching these arts and talking to other fellow tourists.
Mind you, I found new Thai friends on this spot. They are a couple of tourist from Bangkok and would you believe we visited them in Bangkok on the last leg of our journey very recently. Very pleasant experience indeed!

 Umeda skybuilding by tompt
The Umeda Sky Building is open from 10:00 am to 10:30 pm(admission until 10:00pm). And the views at night are even better than at daytime. As admission fee is 700 Yen (2001 price) it is advisable to go in the late afternoon and wait until it is dark to see the nightview. You can wait at the 40th floor for the sun to set in the Sky Cafe.

 Greenless Garden by OsakaHatter
The view from Umeda Sky Building is very very impressive, and does give you an idea of the sheer scale of Osaka...concrete as far as the eye can see. Get there late afternoon and watch the sunset across the city.
Over the course of the year, a series of displays and markets (for example, a mexican market in late summer and a beer festival in early autumn) are held underneath the tower (check the free English press for adverts).
One thing I definitely do recommend is checking out the cinema in the tower, especially people living in Japan. The cinema tends to show independent or less famous films from abroad, that don't get screentime in the mainstream Japanese cinemas. Leave a Comment Phone: +81-6-6440-3901Directions: From JR Osaka Midosuji Gate exit, cross the road and go round behind Yodabashi Camera department store. Go through the pedestrian tunnel under the railway tracks. The other end comes out right by the Sky building (the entrance is in the nearest tower).Website: http://www.skybldg.co.jp/ichiban_e.html

It's worth paying a visit to this place to see Osaka. I saw the harbour and lots of bridges. And catch the arriving aeroplanes. The elevator is scary, as there is nothing underneath it at 46th floors.
700Yen to get to the 46 Floors, and you can stay as long as you want. Coffee and cakes are not expensive up there. You can use the binoculars up there for free. Can see Osaka Castle using the binoculars clearly.
