Umeda Sky Building

梅田スカイビル

Kita, Osaka · 大阪

Two 173-metre towers bridged at the top by a doughnut-shaped open-air deck, reached by an escalator that crosses the gap in a glass tube.

Why it’s worth it

The escalator ride is genuinely alarming and the roof is open to the weather. Go for sunset — it faces west over the river and the bay.
