Umeda Sky Building - Kuchu Teien Observatory in Umeda / Kita. A dramatic twin-tower building linked by a doughnut-shaped rooftop, reached by a glassed-in escalator that seems to float in the sky; the open-air roof gives a 360-degree city panorama.
Why children love it: A dramatic twin-tower building linked by a doughnut-shaped rooftop, reached by a glassed-in escalator that seems to float in the sky; the open-air roof gives a 360-degree city panorama.
Honest drawbacks: The exposed rooftop is windy and the escalator can feel vertiginous for those uneasy with heights; pricey for young children.
