The best observatory in Osaka,
Harukas 300

Harukas 300, as its name suggests, is an observatory with a height of 300 meters that offers a dazzling view of downtown Osaka. It is a romantic place that presents pure beauty against the backdrop of the blue sky during the day and a breathtaking view of the sparkling city center at night.

From the three-story observation floor on the 58th, 59th, and 60th floors, you can enjoy a 360-degree view of the dynamic city of Osaka, and view major areas of Kansai, including the old capital of Kyoto, Kobae, and the Rokko Mountains.

At sunset, as the sun sets in the west and the Yodogawa River and Osaka Bay begin to gradually change from golden to red, a spectacular view of the twilight unfolds. To the west is the glow of the sunset, to the east, darkness spreads quickly, and the lights begin to turn on. When the sun sets, the night view of Osaka unfolds like a jewel box, surrounded by the sea and gently ridged mountains. So, I definitely recommend you go there once.

How to get to Abeno Harukas

Usually, when traveling to Osaka, people often use hotels in the Dotonbori, Namba, and Umeda areas, so I will tell you how to get there based on these.

1. Take the Midosuji Line (Platform 1) from Namba Station and get off at Tennoji Station and walk for 3 minutes.

2. From Umeda, take the purple Tanimachi Line or the red Midosuji Line to Tennoji Station and walk for 3 minutes.

Look everywhere.

Abeno Harukas Observatory consists of three floors, from the 58th to the 60th floor. Since I've been here once, I have to look at every corner of each floor, right?

58th - 59th floor: Garden of the Sky

The 58th floor has a large wooden deck space. Because it is completely open to the sky above, you can enjoy your food and drinks in the fresh air. The best photo spot on the 58th floor is the Twin Towers, and the beautiful sunset between the two towers is a must-see. Shop Harukas 300, located on the 59th floor, is the iconic Osaka Harukas! You can find novelty goods.

60F: 360-degree glass observation deck

The 60th floor is an indoor gallery with all walls made of glass from floor to ceiling. You can see a fantastic view of Osaka from a height of 300 meters above the ground, and the floor is made of glass, so you can feel as if you are walking on air.

Experience a new world

Osaka Harukas takes the elevator from the 16th floor entrance to a height of 288m above ground. The way the elevator changes(?) at this time gives you the feeling of entering a new world.

It feels like you are just taking off from a runway flying into the starry night sky, and you quickly reach the top in just 50 seconds. The moment the elevator door opens, a fantastic scenery will unfold before your eyes.

I really need to go to the bathroom

The Abeno Harukas 300 is so pretty that some say the bathroom is the best photo spot. It's great to take the prettiest photos in the corner space of the bathroom, which has 360-degree glass. If you've seen the great Abeno Harukas photos on Instagram and thought "Where on earth is this?" The place where I did it was the bathroom.

Be sure to visit Sky Garden 300 Restaurant

The restaurant that Manager Ma went to is Sky Garden 300, located on the 58th floor. This is an American casual restaurant where you can enjoy a variety of menus using local ingredients, including spaghetti, as well as cold beer and wine. Since it is also a cafe, you can also enjoy coffee.
