Going up to the sky with an aerial view by “See-through Escalator”

Umeda Sky Building with a height of 173m is often described as ‘looks like a triumphal arch’ by its appearance. When looking at the building from the outside, you’ll see two pillars penetrating through the round circle on the top in the center. These pillars are actually escalators that take you to the observatory deck. When you go up to the 35th floor from the 3rd floor, the entrance of ‘Kuchu Teien Observatory’ (空中庭園, the aerial garden), you’ll be greeted by the “See-through Escalator” (空中エスカレーター) that literally offers you the aerial view and is shaped as a tube crossing between the two towers. It is a spot where you can feel as if you are flying up to the night sky while moving to the 39th floor.
