One of the best panoramic views I’ve ever experienced! The Umeda Sky Building offers an incredible view of Osaka from its floating observatory, and it’s very accessible. The entrance fee is quite affordable, making it a must-visit for anyone who loves breathtaking cityscapes. You can see a perfect, uninterrupted view of Osaka’s skyline, which is absolutely stunning, especially at sunset. The open-air deck is an amazing spot to just sit and take it all in. However, it does get really hot during the summer, and I found myself looking for some shade after a while. Despite the heat, it was worth every moment, and I could stay there for hours just soaking in the view. I’m hoping to come back someday during the winter season when it’s cooler and enjoy the view under different conditions. If you’re ever in Osaka, this is definitely a place you don’t want to miss! #japantrip
