The Umeda Tower, Skyscraper in Kita district, Osaka, Japan

The Umeda Sky Building features two 40-story towers connected by glass bridges and escalators crossing an open atrium space at 173 meters high.

Construction of the building concluded in 1993, marking the end of Japan's economic bubble period when the original plan for four towers reduced to two.

The basement level recreates an early Showa Period market street with traditional restaurants and architectural elements representing 1920s Japanese daily life.

Visitors reach the Floating Garden Observatory using glass escalators that transport them to the 39th floor for panoramic views of Osaka city.

The building incorporates multiple urban gardens, including the Island Garden and Vegetable Garden, establishing green spaces within the concrete structure.
