Umeda Sky Building, Osaka

Gorgeous building worth visiting at night, and would be even better at sunset. The sky deck is stunning and offers an incredible panoramic view of the city. We got in line 30 minutes prior to sunset and totally missed it while waiting so get here a full hour before your desired time. The sky deck is beautiful and worth spending a solid hour up there as the floor lights up and looks like UV-fed stars. The deck gets crowded but with a little patience you can get your own great spot for a photo

Open air, open air, open air view. The outdoor element improves the experience by a large margin. We also can stay there however long we want...with a reasonably priced cafe at lower level that has enough seats covering roughly two different perspective. Recommend checking out golden hours of the day and chill through sunset given you have enough time. Note: there was a minor line when I visited, probably just for safety in confined spaces.
