Umeda Sky Building was one of my favorite stops in Osaka. The view from the top is insane. The glass elevator and floating escalator gave me chills (in a good way). It felt like I was floating above the city. was an insanely cold day though with the crazy winds.

We thoroughly enjoyed our home cooking class in such a warm and welcoming space. There was SO MUCH FOOD -- we couldn't finish it all! I will definitely be making some of the recipes at home. I was especially proud of my rolled omelet!

Booked ticket on exact day of visit with Klook and the experience on great. instant confirmation and e-voucher for entrance. The up in the sky at 40 storeys was a unique experience with 360 degree views. Seeing the sun setting was most beautiful and even catching a shot of the moon.

Easy booking thanks to Klook. Although it’s quite a walk from the train station. Once at Umeda, head over to the 3rd floor for the actual queue. Expect long lines during peak seasons and possibly during sunset/night. Great view at the top with a cafe.

You can redeem your ticket at the designated Haruka ticket machine, scan the QR code, follow the instructions to select the train you want to take, and even request a designated seat according to your personal needs. It is really convenient. I'm so happy to ride the Hello Kitty Haruka train!
