The Floating Garden sits on the linked towers. Keep dusk here — not also Abeno Harukas the same night.
Best time
Clear-day blue hour. Move indoors in rain.
How to go
Leave JR Osaka Station by the north exit, then walk toward Shin-Umeda, about 10 minutes to the linked towers. ICOCA taps this JR hop. An Osaka Metro day pass does not cover JR.
Tips
- · The Floating Garden sits on the linked towers. Keep dusk here — not also Abeno Harukas the same night.
- · Last entry for the Floating Garden follows that day's notice. The station link is not the observatory door — keep walking north outside.
