Japan: Osaka, Umeda Sky Building observatory

            The 'Floating Garden Observatory' (Kuchu Teien Observatory) on the 39th floor of the Umeda Sky Building. 
Umeda, Kita-ku, Osaka, Japan.

The Umeda Sky Building is one of Osaka's tall landmarks. Designed by Hiroshi Hara, the Japanese architect who also designed Kyoto Station, and completed in 1993, the 173 meter tall building consists of two separate towers which are joined at the top by a ring-like observation deck, with bridges and an escalator crossing the wide atrium-like space in the center. 

In 2008, the British publisher Dorling Kindersley included the Umeda Sky Building in a Top 20 list of world buildings that also included the Taj Mahal in India, and Spain’s Sagrada Família.
