based on 316 reviewsThe iconic building, which combines three squares, is the distinctive appearance of Abeno Harukas, and at the same time represents a "vertical city" where various facilities such as department stores, hotels, offices, art museums, and observation decks coexist. The design is not only symbolic of the distinctive features of Abeno Harukas, but also familiar to many people. The colors are "akane-iro" (red madder) and "sumi-iro" (black ink), which have been used since ancient times in Japan. Akane is a plant that is used to make red dye, and in waka poetry it is also used as a pillow word for "sun" (sun) and "shine". It is a warm color that is fitting for Abeno Harukas, which is "the first to shine in the morning sun and the longest to be dyed in the evening sun" in Osaka.

Abeno Harukas, a 300m-tall skyscraper complex, is directly connected to Kintetsu Osaka Abenobashi Station and JR and Osaka Metro Tennoji Station.
There are a variety of shops, including one of Japan's largest department stores, an observation deck, an art museum, and a hotel, so you can enjoy yourself all day long.
There is also a wide selection of delicious gourmet food, including lunches and sweets that can be enjoyed along with Osaka's most spectacular views.

Show More ReviewsHonestly, I'm so glad I decided to visit Abeno Harukas 300. I went during the day because of my schedule, and it turned out to be a great choice. It wasn't busy at all, which meant I could take some really nice photos without having to worry about crowds or people getting in the way.The observatory is spread across multiple floors, and there's also a café with an open-air area where you can enjoy the views of Osaka without looking through glass. That was definitely one of my favourite parts of the experience.Getting in was easy and straightforward, and I didn't have to wait long. Overall, it's a great spot to enjoy the city from above, take some photos and relax for a while. If you prefer a quieter experience and want to avoid the crowds, I'd definitely recommend visiting during the day. I really enjoyed it and would happily recommend it to anyone visiting Osaka!
