What great views!!
First of all - there was only 2 other people, and they were locals. We were a group of 3 tourist and it seems like nobody knew about this place.
The best overall view of Osaka.
They have a Cafe at the top of the tower, a custom sticker machine (dont miss this, its beyond cool! Ask the staff where it is!!), and a ton of shopping can be had next door. (Ground level though.)
The elevator going up provided a wild experience. From the bottom top the top is around 1,650 feet. It took under a minute to get to the top, and it decends even faster, lol.
There were some things that didn't work, or displays thst had nothing in them, but we were not there to look at things inside the tower, the beauty of this place is the view it provides. It was around $9 Canadian to get in, very affordable for such a great view.
(We spent more money on the custom stickers, hahaha.)
Great viewing with all sides to have a glimpse at Osaka. Not much people. Free with Osaka amazing pass as of Mar 2026.
This observation deck is included as part of the free Osaka pass. Very few people were there when we arrived.
The place was dark and quiet for you to really enjoy the view. A cafe is also available for you to grab small desserts and drinks.
Seems like good location to stay if atttending a convention in the area (it was a 10-minute walked to the Intex center where I was working) or USJ (to where there is a shuttle bus I believe). Otherwise not a great location and rather sterile with little to do after dark.
Food options seems to be limited to the food court and cafes in the ATC center which is nearby.
The interior design is a little gaudy but my room was spacious. I didn't do much other than take shower and sleep so the lack of western style seating mentioned by others was not an issue. The big tatami mat area by the window could actually be very welcome to people with young children.
The bed was nice and firm and I slept really well. Helped by the fact that I was one person in a twin room so could use two pillows.
Water was unfortunately provided in a plastic PET bottle. Nice to have ceramic cups (no coffee provided so take you own if that is an essential kick starter for you!)
A great spot if you are a fan of Observatories.
We went using the Osaka amazing 2 day pass! We went during the day on Sunday before noon it was really not busy.
The tower itself is beautiful and when a top the views are stunning even around noon. You can see over the entire city then some!
Highly recommend with the 2 day pass.
