Perhaps
the highest escalator in the world.
The Umeda Sky Building
is the seventh-tallest building in Osaka City, Japan,
and one of the city's most recognizable landmarks. It
consists of two 40-story towers that connect at their
two uppermost stories, with bridges and an escalator crossing
the wide atrium-like space in the center. The escalater
ride is an event in itself as it feels like you are floating
up into the sky. This is a cheap way to see the city,
less than 10 USD to go up to the observation area.
Located in the Umeda district of Kita-ku, the building
was originally conceived in 1988 as the "City of
Air" project, which planned to create four interconnected
towers in northern Osaka. Eventually, practical considerations
brought the number of towers down to two.
The 173 m (568 ft) building was designed by Hiroshi Hara.
It was constructed by Takenaka Corporation and was completed
in 1993... |
