Abeno Harukas
あべのハルカス
A 300-meter skyscraper in Tennoji, whose top-floor HARUKAS 300 observatory offers views of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge and Kansai Airport.
Abeno Harukas stands in front of Tennoji Station. It opened in 2014 and, at 300 meters tall, was once the tallest building in Japan. The observation deck HARUKAS 300 occupies the 58th to 60th floors, with floor-to-ceiling glass on all sides for a 360-degree view of Osaka. On clear days you can see the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge and Kansai Airport. The Sky Garden on the 58th floor is an open atrium where you can sit outdoors with a coffee and enjoy the night view. Admission costs about 2,000 yen and can be bought at the ticket counter on the 16th floor or online. The Sky Garden on the 16th floor is free and offers views of Tennoji Park and Tsutenkaku. The building houses a Kintetsu department store, a museum, and a Marriott hotel. Getting there: Tennoji Station on JR and the subway, or Kintetsu Osaka Abenobashi Station, both within walking distance. It pairs well with a visit to Shinsekai, Tennoji Park, and Shitennoji Temple.
