Koji Kinoshita Tenku Art Museum opened in December 2016 on the 27th floor of the Umeda Sky Building. The museum showcases fresco murals, sculptures, and interactive workshops by Koji Kinoshita, a leading figure in Japanese fresco art. One of its most popular attractions is a world-first 3D immersive video experience that allows visitors to feel as though they are stepping into paintings. The museum also features the Tenku Cafe and Tenku Gallery, offering panoramic views of Osaka and photo opportunities.

The “Tenku Café” attached to the Koji Kinutani Tenku Art Museum can be used even without entering the museum. Inside, you can enjoy an elegant time surrounded by 16 pigment-inspired colored bottles and vivid works such as Kinutani’s prints. Prices are reasonable: God Mountain Coffee is 280 yen, and matcha fondant cake is 320 yen. Since the floating observatory can get quite crowded around sunset, it’s also a good idea to enjoy the sunset from the café or the museum’s Tenku Gallery.
