Umeda Sky Building (梅田スカイビル), part of New Umeda City, is one of Osaka's most recognizable icons and is the 12th tallest building in Osaka. The 40 story building comprises the Floating Garden Observatory which is a popular tourist attraction of Osaka.

Rising 40-stories (173m) in the air, you can get an excellent bird's eye view of the sprawling metropolis at the Floating Garden Observatory as well as the roof-top observatory. At the basement you may find a Showa Period themed restaurant mall.

This building, completed in 1993 can easily be accessed from Osaka Station and Umeda Station.
