Come home to the Umeda Sky Building, Osaka with AsiaRooms.com offering you all the information. The city of Umeda is among Osaka's chief commercial and business districts and the gateway to the entrance of the city, if you happen to travel along the route of Kobe and Kyoto. The twin towers of the Umeda Sky Building have a couple of observation galleries and an underground recreation of Emperor Hirohito's Showa-era (1926 - 1989) shopping street called Takimikoji. Below the stations of JR Osaka and Hankyu Umeda lies a maze of shopping arcades. These include: the street-level Hankyu Department Store, the Hankyu Hep Five complex with all its cinemas, eateries, and a funky inbuilt Ferris wheel which targets a younger clientele. There is also a Yodo bashi Camera Department Store which is a new addition to the shopping scene in the area. The view from the zenith of the Umeda Sky Building is extremely impressive and this does give you an idea of the utter heights of Osaka, which is concrete, as far the visual sense is concerned. In the late afternoon, you can get to watch the sun set right across the city. In course of a year, there are a series of displays and markets that are hosted underneath the tower. For instance, there is a Mexican Market in late summer and a beer festival in late autumn. Something that is highly recommended is checking out the cinema in the tower. There are independent or relatively less trendy movies that do not obtain screen-time in the mainstream Japanese cinemas are displayed here.
