Train
From Kyoto Station, take the JR Tokaido Shinkansen towards Osaka. Get off at Shin-Osaka Station (approximately 15 minutes). Transfer to the Osaka Metro Midosuji Line at Shin-Osaka Station. Take the train towards Nakamozu and get off at Tennoji Station (approximately 10 minutes). Upon arrival, follow the signs to the Abeno Harukas building which is about a 10-minute walk from the station.
Bus
From Kyoto Station, board the Kyoto City Bus number 100 or 206 towards Osaka. Get off at the Abeno Harukas stop (approximately 50 minutes). Once you alight, the Harukas 300 Observatory is directly in front of you on Abenosuji Street.
Taxi
If you prefer a more direct route, you can take a taxi from anywhere in Kyoto. Simply tell the driver 'Abeno Harukas' or show them the address: 1 Chome-1-43 Abenosuji, Abeno Ward, Osaka. The drive will take around 45 minutes depending on traffic.
Walking
If you are staying close to Tennoji Station, exit the station and head south. Walk straight down Abenosuji Street for about 10 minutes. You will see the Abeno Harukas building ahead, which is hard to miss due to its height.
