The entrance fee for the Umeda Sky Building’s Kuchu Teien Observatory is 2,000 yen for adults and 500 yen for children aged 4 to 12. Children under 4 years old can enter for free[6]. There is a 50% discount for persons with disabilities and one accompanying person (with certificate), so the price becomes 1,000 yen for adults and 250 yen for children with disabilities and their companion[6].
The observatory accepts advance purchases as well as same-day ticket sales. Advance ticket holders can proceed directly to the ticket counter on the 39th floor for quick entry by presenting their QR code or voucher, while same-day purchasers may need to wait in line at vending machines, especially during weekends or holidays[2].
Operating hours are typically from 9:30 AM to 10:30 PM, with last admission at 10:00 PM[6]. Special tickets may be required during certain events or on specific business days, such as during local festivals[6].
The Osaka Amazing Pass or Osaka e-Pass grants free admission from 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM and a 10% discount after 3:00 PM until closing[6].
