The official English site lists adults ¥2,000, ages 4–12 ¥500, under 4 free, open daily 9:30–22:30 with last entry at 22:00.
The same site says individual online tickets are sold through Klook and group tickets through asoview, and its ticket button links to the Klook listing.
It says Osaka Amazing Pass and Osaka e-Pass holders enter free from 9:30 to 15:00 and get 10% off from 15:00 to 22:00, and that the rooftop may close in heavy rain.
The official Japanese access page gives the walk from JR Osaka Station as 7 minutes.
When is the best time to go?
The rooftop deck is open-air, with the city lights all around, and the observatory stays open until 22:30 (last entry 22:00), so you can go for sunset or for the night view.
With an Osaka Amazing Pass, the free window ends at 15:00. If you want the night view, you pay with a 10% discount instead. Pick one: free daytime, or paid night.
How to visit, step by step
- Walk from Osaka Station to the Sky Building. Leave JR Osaka Station by the Central North Exit, pass Grand Front Osaka South Building, then take the underground walkway. The official site puts it at 7 minutes.

- Buy at the window, or show your online ticket. Amazing Pass holders show the pass: free from 9:30 to 15:00, 10% off after that.You'll need data to open an online ticket and to find your way through Umeda's underground. A Japan eSIM is the simplest fix.Japan eSIMs on Klook ↗
- Go up to the rooftop. The official site warns that the rooftop may close in heavy rain. The 40th-floor gallery below it is indoors.

Umeda Sky or Abeno Harukas: which one?
Umeda Sky Building
¥2,000 adults, open to 22:30, rooftop with no glass, next to Osaka Station. Free with an Amazing Pass before 15:00.
Abeno Harukas 300
¥2,200 adults on the day, 9:00–22:00, a higher glass deck at Tennoji. Better if you're staying south.
Our verdict: if you're near Umeda, want the night air and the famous building shape, choose Umeda Sky. If you want the highest view and are near Tennoji or Namba, choose Harukas.
