It is such an amazing building with unique structure! I didnt expect anything special but I changed my mind when I got there! To be honest, I dont know ticket price because I already purchased kind of Osaka pass which included the ticket for the sky garden. Anyway, it is totally worthy to visit there as one of the great landmarks in Osaka!

Although this is not the tallest view you can see in Osaka but to me, this place offers a better view than the taller building Harukas 300. This place is not just about the view but also pleases those who love architecture too. The garden below is also beautiful and unique. To reach the top, you just need to follow the sign, get on an elevator, escalator, and then walk up 1 floor (elevator is available for elderly, children, or disability). There is a cafe and souvenir shop and a small exhibition about architecture around the world as well. If you have time, there is an art museum on the same building, featuring artwork that symbolises Osaka.

This place had some pretty spectacular views of Osaka, and the facility was clean. We went during weekday lunch and it wasn't too busy, so we were able to buy tickets at the venue. There was a love heart locket that you could reserve and buy that's cute for couples to do, and you lock it up on top of the observatory. It was pretty windy on the outside portion, so I'd recommend not wearing anything that'll fly off easily or thin skirts.

I wanted to visit the observatory at sunset, but due to scheduling, we arrived after dinner. It was still a lovely experience! The weather was nice, wind is chilly. We couldn't take much photos in the night, but still enjoyed our time. It is a long walk from Osaka station, so beware.

Definitely worth a visit if you're in Osaka. There were great open-air 360° views of the city and out across the bay. Entry was a bargain and there's a nice cafe at the top too. We visited mid-afternoon during the week and the queues weren't bad at all.
