A 300-meter-tall mixed-use skyscraper. The observatory on the top floor offers sweeping views across Osaka.
Abeno Harukas is a 300-meter-tall mixed-use skyscraper that opened in 2014. The second basement through 14th floors house the Kintetsu Department Store Main Store Abeno Harukas and Abeno Harukas Dining.
The 16th floor is home to the Abeno Harukas Art Museum, which hosts a wide variety of art exhibitions from Japan and abroad. The Osaka Marriott Miyako Hotel occupies the 19th, 20th, 38th through 55th, and 57th floors. At COOKA, the live-kitchen restaurant on the 19th floor, diners can savor seasonal vegetables, fresh seafood, meat, and more while taking in views from 100 meters above ground.
The HARUKAS 300 observatory spans three levels on the 58th, 59th, and 60th floors. A dedicated elevator takes visitors from the entrance gate on the 16th floor to the top level on the 60th floor. This remarkable indoor corridor is enclosed in glass from floor to ceiling, creating the sensation of walking through the sky. In favorable weather conditions, the panoramic view extends from Kyoto and the Rokko mountain range to the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, Awaji Island, and the Ikoma mountain range.
The 58th floor features the Sky Garden, an open-air space with a wooden deck that hosts a variety of events. The indoor cafe, dining, and bar area, SKY GARDEN 300, serves meals and alcoholic beverages. It is also a pleasant spot for dinner while admiring the sparkling night view.
The special Heliport Tour, which takes visitors to the heliport on the roof of Abeno Harukas, is also popular. Feel the breeze 300 meters above ground while taking in unobstructed 360-degree views.

When traveling to Osaka, I recommend visiting Abeno HARUKAS at night to enjoy the night view! This commercial building is 300 meters tall. When you look up while riding the elevator, you can see lights that look like a sky full of stars, making it feel as if you're soaring straight into the sky. It's full of surprises.
The observation deck on the 60th floor offers 360-degree views, allowing you to enjoy Osaka's sparkling cityscape from every direction. On clear days, you can see even farther! There was almost no line when I entered at 9 p.m., and with fewer people around, I could take my time enjoying the view and taking photos.
There is also a paid service for colorful souvenir photos. On the 16th floor, there's a distinctive long escalator that leads to Kintetsu Department Store, making shopping convenient as well. If you're staying at the Osaka Marriott Miyako Hotel in the same building, you may also be eligible for complimentary tickets. It's worth adding to your Osaka night-view itinerary!
If you want the most breathtaking panoramic night view in all of Japan, head straight to Abeno Harukas, the tallest building in the Kansai region! This 300-meter supertall skyscraper is impossible to miss—the moment you arrive at Tennoji Station, you can look up and see its majestic silhouette piercing the sky.
Take the high-speed elevator straight to the HARUKAS 300 observation deck at the top, and the moment you step out, the sweeping view will leave you stunned. With its massive floor-to-ceiling windows and three-sided sky corridor, you can see all of Osaka and even as far as Kyoto and Kobe spread out below you.
The best part is that whether you're admiring the endless cityscape during the day or the magical golden glow at sunset, the view is so beautiful it leaves you speechless. At night, the scenery outside transforms into a dazzling, three-dimensional cityscape filled with millions of lights, and the romance level is off the charts. The observation deck also has a comfortable sky garden atrium and a cafe with a view, where you can order a drink, sit by the window, and leisurely enjoy the luxurious feeling of being high above the city.
I highly recommend adding Abeno Harukas to your Osaka itinerary from dusk into the evening. Whether you're on a date or simply want to take in a grand view, this is definitely the most breathtaking scenic spot in all of Osaka!
Compared with always-crowded Umeda or Namba, shopping in Tennoji is a much better experience. From shopping to dining, you can do it all inside Abeno Harukas.
At night, you can head up to the observation deck to enjoy the city view. Looking out over Osaka and reflecting on the trip is the perfect way to end the day.
As expected from the tallest building in the Kansai region! The 360-degree view is incredible—you can see the whole city clearly.
You can have coffee at the observation deck, and there are lots of great spots for photos. Once you're in, there's no time limit, so you can stay as long as you like.
