Abeno Harukas

Getting around: Directly above Tennoji Station, reachable by JR, subway, or Kintetsu lines, a few minutes from central Osaka.
Hours: Harukas 300 observation deck typically 9am-10pm daily; paid admission.

Abeno Harukas is Japan's tallest building (as of its 2014 completion), a mixed-use tower combining a department store, hotel, offices, and an observation deck called Harukas 300 near the top. The deck offers 360-degree views over Osaka, and on clear days extends out toward Kyoto, Kobe, and even Awaji Island.

It's directly connected to Tennoji Station, making it an easy stop to fold into a visit to nearby Tennoji Park, Shitenno-ji, or the Shinsekai district.
