#Osaka Attractions The moment we arrived at the Observatory of the Osaka Prefecture Sakishima Government Building, the weather was clear and there were a few white clouds floating in the sky, which seemed to add a touch of poetry to this skyscraper. I took the high-speed elevator directly to the top floor, and the panoramic glass windows of the observatory gave me a panoramic view of the whole of Osaka. The azure blue of Osaka Bay and the geometric lines of the city's buildings create a unique picture that is amazing. In the afternoon, I sat in the viewing area of ​​the observatory, ordered a cup of coffee, and savored the beautiful scenery in front of me. I felt that time had slowed down. As night falls, the city lights gradually light up, creating another moving scene.

#OsakaSakura In this spring season, I came to the Sakishima Observatory in Osaka, which is an irresistible place to view cherry blossoms. When I walked into the observation deck, the scenery in front of me stunned me! The white cherry blossoms bloomed like clouds, making me feel like I was in a fairyland, making me forget the busy city life in an instant. At the observatory, the scent of cherry blossoms filled the air, and the crowds around made the place full of life. Whenever the breeze blows, cherry blossom petals fall like rain, making people feel the beauty and brevity of life in an instant. This scene can't help but remind me of the impermanence of life. Should we also live in the present and cherish every moment like these cherry blossoms? I saw many tourists holding cameras, stopping to take pictures, taking photos with the cherry blossoms, and laughing. This exchange of emotions made me deeply realize that no matter where we come from, the yearning for beautiful things is so common. Seeing everyone immersed in this stunning white scenery, my heart was filled with warmth. Here, I not only feel the beauty of nature, but also the connection between people. Every falling cherry blossom petal seems to be telling a story, and I can't help but want to share this feeling with the people around me. This resonance is so precious and makes me feel very happy. Transportation I chose to take the subway to Sakishima Observatory. From Osaka Station, I took the Midosuji Line to Umeda Station, then transferred to the Chuo Line to Osaka Port Station, which is about a 10-minute walk away.

#Osaka Attractions I recently had the opportunity to visit the Sakishima Cosmo Tower Observatory in Osaka and it was an absolutely stunning place! When I stepped into this 55-story building, I was full of anticipation yet a little nervous. Every corner here exudes a modern feel, making people want to explore more. My heart beat faster as I rode the elevator up, and the view gradually unfolded as I climbed higher. The moment I arrived at the observation deck, I was completely shocked by the scene before me! The 360-degree panoramic view allowed me to see the beauty of Osaka Bay, the outline of Awaji Island, and the magnificent Akashi Kaikyo Bridge at a glance. Especially in the evening, when the setting sun shines on the sea, the golden light blends with the blue ocean, which makes me so moved that I shed tears. This scene is so beautiful! 😭✨ Here, I not only feel the magnificence of nature, but also experience the prosperity and vitality of the city. Although some tourists were taking photos, the tranquility of that moment felt very precious to me. I closed my eyes and quietly enjoyed this beauty, my heart filled with gratitude for life. The observatory is open from 11:00 to 22:00, with last admission at 21:30, and I recommend visiting in the evening to enjoy the best sunset view. In terms of transportation, you can take the Kita-Osaka Kyuko Railway to "Ryokuchi Park Station" and walk for about 15 minutes to arrive, or walk for about 30 minutes from the Hankyu Railway's "Sone Station". The journey is not far. This journey made me realize that there are many beautiful things in life that are worth cherishing, and this shock and touch will always remain in my heart. I hope every traveler can come here in person to experience this unique beauty and emotion! 🌅💖 If you also want to experience such a stunning journey, you might as well plan an adventure to the Sakishima Space Tower Observatory and let your mind fly freely in this beautiful world! #Osaka #Sakishima Space Tower Observatory

This year, I visited the German Christmas Market located under the Umeda Sky Building with friends. The market runs from November 16 to December 25, opening daily from 12 PM to 10:30 PM, with the lights turning on at 5 PM. Situated at the plaza on the first floor of the Umeda Sky Building, the market features a variety of Christmas decorations, including a Christmas tree, traditional German crafts, and an array of German snacks. Despite its small size, the market exudes a festive Christmas atmosphere. After enjoying the night view from the Floating Garden Observatory, you can conveniently visit the Christmas market, making it a perfect day out. #Osaka #ChristmasMarket #Umeda

#winhkflight “Cosmo Tower” is the international complex facility standing over Osaka Bay, and the symbol of Nanko, Suminoe Ward and the Cosmosquare district. The building is filled with not only offices, but an observatory, restaurants in the sky, various business and entertainment facilities, etc. The rotating observatory on the 55th floor is covered in 360 degrees of all-glass panels. The view from here, especially at night is fantastic, and visitors can see the entirety of the Osaka Bay area, Awaji Island, Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, Kansai International Airport, etc. I stayed the Sakishima Hotel in the same building, and went up to the observatory to see the night sky at night! Close at 10pm. I want to go Hong Kong to experience to might view there!

There are almost no people watching the night view at night, it is very quiet❤️suitable for relaxation #国外游 A good place to go in Osaka at night, but pay attention to the closing time and don't miss it The observation deck is so comfortable at night❤️🥂

I'll wait 🤭

Most people will choose to go to the Umeda Sky Building in the night view. Of course, there is going to be there. The open-air experience is completely different. But apart from this, I feel that the scenery of the Observatory in Pazhou Hall is completely comparable to the scenery of Umeda. This is one of the free attractions included in the Osaka Travel Card. Take the elevator to the 52nd floor and transfer to the escalator to reach the 55th floor. You can see the scenery of Osaka 360 degrees through the glass window, especially the panoramic view of Osaka Port. . It is also a great place to watch the sunset and night scenes. When the night falls, the lights of the Tianbaoshan Ferris Wheel and the Waves Ocean Time Museum are lit up, and the scenery is exceptionally beautiful! I don't have a lot of visitors when I go. On the observatory, a comfortable seat is set intimately for visitors to enjoy the view while resting. The lover's deck is specially set up to show the service. Address: 1416 1, Nangang North, Sumiyoshi-gu, Sakae City Opening Hours: Tuesday to Sunday 11
