Osaka Ekimae Buildings

Osaka Ekimae Buildings is a commercial skyscraper complex adjacent to Osaka Station with 34 above-ground floors and 6 basement levels. The structure houses numerous offices, retail shops, and restaurants across multiple levels and serves as a major business hub in the city center.

The complex opened in 1970 during Japan's period of rapid economic growth following World War II. Its construction represented a major investment in modernizing Osaka's business district during the nation's post-war expansion.

The complex serves as a central gathering point where business people and commuters intersect throughout the day. Its retail spaces reflect how Japanese commerce integrates work and shopping into everyday urban life.

The structure sits directly adjacent to Osaka Station and provides seamless connections to multiple railway lines and commuter routes. You can easily navigate the complex by following signs to reach offices, shops, or restaurants spread across the various levels.

The building connects to neighboring structures through an extensive network of underground pedestrian tunnels and shopping passages. This hidden system allows visitors to explore much of the surrounding area while staying below street level.
