Umeda Sky Building
Umeda Sky Building is a striking twin-tower structure connected at the top by a circular 'Floating Garden Observatory,' with escalators crossing an open-air gap between the towers near the summit that give a memorable, slightly vertigo-inducing approach to the deck itself. From the top, views stretch over central Osaka and, on clear days, out toward the surrounding mountains and bay.
It's a distinctive piece of modern architecture in its own right, worth visiting partly for the building's design as much as for the view, and is a popular sunset and evening spot.
