Abeno Harukas (Harukas 300 Observatory)

あべのハルカス

Osaka · Kansai

Japan's second-tallest building (300m, 60 floors), topped by the Harukas 300 observatory with a glass-walled open-air walkway on the 60th floor and 360° views over Osaka to Kobe, Kyoto, and (on clear days) Awaji Island.

Why we picked it

Famous-but-belongs-in — the prefecture's undisputed modern architectural icon and a glaring gap: Osaka Castle (historic) is covered but the city's defining 21st-century skyline landmark isn't.
