Umeda Sky Building Observatory

Mon, October 3, 2011, by Muza-chan

I think that the Umeda Sky Building is the most original and spectacular building from Japan, with an architecture that really stands out. And there's a lot more to see from the inside, maybe even more impressive...

The two skyscrapers are connected at the top floors with the amazing open-air Floating Garden Observatory. Nothing blocks the 360-degree view towards outside (so it's a paradise for taking photos), while the view towards inside is impressive - a circular, 170 meters high gap, crossed by two glass-walled escalators:
