You can enjoy the distinctive food culture of Osaka and Japan, the latest fashion, a relaxing rooftop garden, and a movie night. Let's unravel the charm of Osaka Station City, a world-class tourist spot in the heart of the city where you can enjoy shopping, dining, and entertainment all day long.

The breathtaking architectural beauty of Osaka Station City

Osaka Station City is a city landmark that shines with overwhelming architectural beauty. The contrast of light and shadow created by the sophisticated modern design and expansive glass surfaces is like a work of art. Even though it is located in the city, the openness and comfort that permeates the space captivates visitors. Its appearance, which blends into the city skyline, truly exudes a futuristic beauty.

The impressive large roof that completely covers the station platform is like a scene from a futuristic sci-fi movie. Just being there is an exciting view.

Be sure to also experience the open feeling of Toki-no-Hiroba Plaza (5th floor) that spreads out above the station platform. The open feeling that you wouldn't expect to find in the middle of the city is due to the design that lets in light and the stylish use of stainless steel and glass.

If you take the escalator leading from the plaza, you can see the Toki-no-Sora Plaza and the large roof space from above, making it a great place to travel with children.

A diverse plaza space for excitement and relaxation

Osaka Station City is home to a variety of plaza spaces, which give visitors a wide range of emotions. For example, "Wind Plaza" (North Gate, 11th floor) is a popular space where visitors can take a step away from the hustle and bustle of the city and relax while feeling the natural breeze. The space is designed to allow the breeze to pass through, and the plaza is filled with lush greenery. It is a space that gives a sense of nature even in the city. You can see the world-famous Umeda Sky Building and the newly developed Umekita area.

Also, be sure to check out the water clock in South Gate Square. There are only a few of these clocks in Japan, and they go beyond simply functioning as a clock; they are designed to be part of the city's beautiful landscape. The way the flowing water changes shape inside the clock as it tells the time is like a work of art, and it's no wonder it was chosen by CNN as one of the "12 most beautiful clocks in the world." It reflects light during the day and is lit up at night, creating a fantastic atmosphere, allowing you to enjoy different charms at different times of the day.

"See," "Touch," and "Discover." Inspiring public art

The Osaka Station/Umeda area is dotted with a variety of public art pieces, mainly around Umekita Park and the station square, and is attracting attention as a spot where you can enjoy walking around the city and appreciating art at the same time. The new artworks, which were installed in 2024, are packed with features that stimulate the creativity of children and adults alike through the experiences of "seeing," "touching," and "discovering."

Umekita Park North Park is home to a number of artworks that can be freely experienced in harmony with nature, including Ram Katzir's "YUMEMITAI," in which figures draped in clouds represent the sharing of dreams; Kaneko Jun's "FULLBLOOM I & II," which vividly depicts the moment when plants reach full bloom; and Kate Thomson's marble work "Serendipity," which you can walk through or sit on.

Also at Innogate Osaka, Hirohiko Araki, the creator of the hugely popular manga series "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure," has created his first attempt at public art with a stained glass piece called "THE FOUNTAIN BOY." It brings to life the fountain boy that once symbolized the station in a modern style, catching the eye of visitors. Measuring two meters in diameter, this piece is a one-of-a-kind, precious piece that recreates Hirohiko Araki's worldview in stained glass with meticulous artisanal techniques. There are also plenty of photogenic features, such as Ryu Mieno's work depicting Osaka in 3D letters, and Sakamoto Shunta's digital art, which projects visitors' images onto a screen.

Scattered throughout parks and commercial facilities, these fascinating interactive public art pieces can be discovered while strolling around. Touching the artworks, enjoying the scenery along with the light and breeze, and seeing how their expressions change with the seasons and time of day are also highlights. The experience of letting children freely expand their imaginations by asking "What does it look like?" fosters creativity and is a perfect way to spend time together as parents. The public art around Osaka Station offers a new appeal as an urban art stroll that adds surprise and playfulness to everyday life.

Experience the traditional Japanese way of drinking alcohol, "Hashigozake" at Baltica 03

Baltica 03, located inside Innogate Osaka, right outside the west exit of Osaka Station, has a total of 50 stores spread across the second to fifth floors. In addition to cafes and Japanese, Western and Chinese restaurants, the fifth floor is a "drinking floor" where you can enjoy a wide range of "bar hopping," from casual drinks to proper izakayas and standing bars.

Hashigozake (bar hopping) is a drinking style in which, after finishing a drink at one establishment, you continue to visit other establishments, enjoying drinks and food. The word "hashigo" comes from the meaning of "moving from one establishment to the next, as if going up and down a ladder," and the name comes from the image of walking from one bar to another as if climbing the rungs of a ladder. Baltica 03 in particular is packed with various establishments on the same floor, making it perfect for bar hopping, as you can visit multiple establishments one after the other with almost no walking required. For example, you can try sake at an izakaya, enjoy beer with skewered fried foods, and have light snacks and wine at a standing bar. You can freely plan your trip based on the style of your drinking.

It's also very conveniently located, just a few minutes' walk from major stations around Osaka Station. Many stores accept a variety of payment methods, including credit cards and electronic money, so you can rest assured.
