a. Umeda Sky Building.

b. Advertising billboard.

c. Umeda Sky building.

The Umeda Sky building in the Umeda business district is Osaka's tallest skyscraper. It has a tourist lookout on top from where you can see all of Osaka stretching out before you. You really understand how big a city Osaka is. The shape of the building seems to refer to the temple gate, or torii, that you see all over Japan.
