An exceptionally tall new landmark had made its first appearance. On the 7th the highest building in Japan the "Abeno Harukashu" started business fully. Also, from the observatory deck children were having great excitement with the huge panorama.

It was the new landmark the "Abeno Harukashu" in Osaka, a building that was 60-story in height and 300 meters above the ground. It would become the number one in height in Japan. On the 7th it was opened fully, a man who was the first to arrive at the observatory deck was thrilled.

The man who was the first to arrive at the "Abeno-Harukashu" observatory deck "screamed!” and said “that (the scene) was really uncanny".

Also, when the night fell, the scene from the observatory deck would become even more attractive.

However, the attention was not only just being the number one in height in Japan.

As a town of eating only in Osaka, there were 44 restaurants and 61 special candy stores located in a line at the floor.

Spaces were set aside everywhere so that one could take a rest leisurely during a break in shopping. On the other hand, everywhere there were facilities which aimed at a mother to deposit her child temporarily while shopping; there were devices that aimed at making a place the most comfortable in Japan.

"Abeno Harukashu" had a hotel, an art museum, and a hospital grouped together.

It was said that every year 47,400,000 visitors could be expected.
