Abeno Harukas is a mixed-use skyscraper in the Abeno district of Osaka, Japan, rising to 300 metres with 60 storeys and recognized as the tallest building in the country. The complex combines retail, office space, a large hotel and an observation deck.

Key attractions include the Harukas 300 observation decks near the summit, a multi-level Kintetsu department store occupying lower floors and the Osaka Marriott Miyako Hotel in the upper storeys. The building concentrates shopping, dining and panoramic viewpoints under one roof.

Construction was completed and the building opened in 2014, after which it quickly became a landmark on Osaka’s skyline and a transport hub because of its direct connections to Tennoji Station. The tower sits adjacent to Tennoji, a major railway and metro interchange in southern central Osaka.

Located in Abeno-ku, the tower is integrated with rail and metro links at Tennoji Station and lies within the dense urban fabric of Osaka city, making it highly accessible for visitors and shoppers.

The building is effectively a station complex - once you arrive at Tennoji/Abenobashi station it is a direct connection or a 0-5 minute walk into Abeno Harukas.

• Visit Abeno Harukas on a weekday morning if you want to avoid long evening queues for the Harukas 300 observation deck; sunset draws the largest crowds.
• Enter directly from Tennoji Station (the building is integrated with the station and mall) to save time and avoid navigating surface streets with luggage.
• Buy tickets or the timed-entry pass for the observation deck in advance when possible; many visitors underestimate the queues during weekends and holidays.
