on top of the world

To experience the sheer size of Osaka there is no better way than to visit one of the observation decks. This picture was taken on top of the Umeda Sky Building near the central station. You will see the amazing skyline of downtown Osaka and the residential and commercial areas extending till the horizon. To get an even closer look I recommend you to try out the observation deck on top of the Abeno Harukas building. The deck is located 300m above the ground.
