The Umeda Sky Building is probably the most distinguishing feature of Osaka’s skyline. Not only is it the tallest building in Osaka, but it features an elevated (floating) observatory on the 85th floor. Even though most tourist books discourage the attraction, we had a good time looking at the views from up there. However, we were a bit dissapointed that there wasn’t a “garden” up there even though they call it the floating garden observatory.
