梅田スカイビル
Two towers joined at the top by a ring-shaped observation deck, reached by a glass elevator and a famous sky escalator that crosses the open gap between them. One source calls it their favorite building in Japan for the design alone; the other notes the view, while great, is less photogenic than Tsutenkaku's retro shot. Get there for the 9:30am opening if you want a clear deck — queues build fast and peak at sunset.
