Standing at an impressive 300 meters in height, Osaka's Abeno Harukas building is one of Japan's tallest structures and offers some incredible panoramic views from its observation deck. A fun water play event at the venue this summer is set to be held under the theme of the sky, clouds, and rainbows, and there will be several different areas where attendees can beat the heat.
Cooling spots that emulate rain falling down, water gun play zones, and a rainbow swing surrounded by clouds are just some of the fun things to check out.
Please note that a ticket to the observatory is required to take part in the water play event, and admission prices for different age groups are listed on their website.
Getting there
Osaka's Abeno Harukas building (58th floor outdoor Sky Garden) is located just a minute on foot from Osaka Abenobashi Station on the Kintetsu Railway's Minami Osaka Line, or two minutes on foot from Tennoji Station on the JR Osaka Loop Line.
