Awesome observatory. Easy access (3-min walk from station), spacious and low crowd level. Tripod is also allowed, which is quite rare. ¥1,500 admission really isn’t bad especially if you enjoy photography. Some people said that going to the 16th floor (free garden) is sufficient; I have included a photo from the 16th floor so you can compare the view yourself.

Went up to Harukas 300 obeservation deck. It cost you around 1500¥ but its worth it! Great view especially in the late afternoon. Go up as long as the sun is still out, go have a beer 3 stories further down and watch the stunning sunset over the harbor region. After that go back up and have a look at the city at dawn. Amazing experience.

This is the highest building in Japan... It contains sixty floors (around three hundred metres from the ground)... On the top of this building you can enjoy an amazing view of Osaka city (I liked the Hanshin Expressway bridges going through buildings and crossing the city)... There's also a new attraction entertainment that you can enjoy: hanging from the highest point (with special gears) and feel the 300m of hight...

Really amazing place for views of Osaka! It's the tallest building in Japan! (That doesn't include any of the towers, just actual buildings) there's a fun gift shop, and if you're brave enough you can sign up to hang off of the side of the building!!

Spectacular views at night! (Apparently much better than during the day). There's a bit of a light show on the way up, great views in all directions and a few light shows on the observation floor. If you enjoy the city lights then it's definitely worth taking a look.

Went to the free one. Nice view of three directions of Osaka. Kind of expensive to go to the top deck ($25) but that's just me, maybe you find that valuable. Good places to eat near and high end shops like Gucci at ground level.

Fee is over ¥1000. View is amazing, there's a gift shop on the observatory and an extreme experience where you can go to the top and look over the edge. It was raining on the day i went so I didn't get to do it. There are also restaurants on the lower floor

It's a pretty impressive building. Quite expensive for what it is. You don't really get any telescopes or interactive screens at the top. Cool elevator ride up to the top though.

One of the best buildings to get a view of a city. You must pay a few to enter Harukas 300, about 1000 yen. Many people and can get crowded, but it's a very beautiful scene and if you get the chance you should definitely check this area out.

I think this is the tallest building in Osaka. You can pay to go all the way to the top, but the 16th floor is the highest free level to visit and I think this was good enough. Very open plan on this level with a mini garden outside. Super pretty

Gives a 360° view of the surrounding Osaka downtown area. A must-visit if you have a thing for bird's eye views of cities around the world. Went right at sunset on what was a wet day, but could still see all the way to Osaka bay and the surrounding mountains. Was crowded but could still move around easily and have ample space to stand around the full-length windows. The only downside is that the interior lighting of the observation deck ruins photos taken of the surroundings due to reflection. For a unimpeded view of the Osaka bay, try going one floor down to the toilets (either male or female will do). The full-length windows will give you what the observation deck won't, as that same area on the 60th floor is off limits unless you pay for your picture to be taken.

Terrific views of the city. Even the elevator ride is fantastic, as you see the entire shaft above you enhanced with LED lights. Not to be missed.

Nothing like drinking an Asahi Dry whilst eating edamame on an outdoor deck next to real trees (and piped bird song!) at 60 floors above ground. Surprisingly relaxing after snapping countless rooftops on your phone.

1,500jpy entry fee. Very fun as it is not crowded at all and you can enjoy a quite time here watching Osaka city. Almost all the major attractions in Osaka are identifiable atop here and even the Akashi cross strait bridge is viewable from here which was a very pleasant surprise. Highly recommended when you’re tired of the hustles and bustles of Osaka and need some time to relax. Good restaurants on the restaurant floors too.
