Tenjin

Free Lookout and Urban Forest Climb

This one requires a little leg work – literally. The rooftop of the spectacular ACROS Building in central Tenjin is a little known spot to see the city from above. To reach the rooftop observatory, which is open only on weekends and holidays, climb the 809 steps of the outdoor staircase at the back of the building. The staircase is almost entirely covered and surrounded by foliage that changes with the season, so you’ll want to do this more than once a year. Note the days and hours below before heading out.
