Umeda, one of Osaka’s most vibrant commercial and transportation hubs, has added another jewel to its crown with the opening of the Grand Green Osaka South Building. In this stunning 4K video from DassaiShooku, filmed on March 22, 2025, viewers are treated to an elegant and comprehensive walking tour highlighting this brand-new development and beloved landmarks in the surrounding district.
The video begins at Nishi-Umeda Station on the Yotsubashi subway line (地下鉄四ツ橋線 西梅田駅), then transitions through JR Osaka Station (JR 大阪駅), a key transit artery in the city. With smooth cinematic shots, the video takes us past the Grand Front Osaka (グランフロント大阪), a modern shopping and dining complex, into the Umekita Underground Gate of JR Osaka Station, a newly developed connection heralding even more seamless travel integration.
At the heart of this walk is the showcase of Grand Green Osaka South Building (グラングリーン大阪南館), which had its grand opening on the day of filming. This modern structure exemplifies the future-forward vision of Osaka urbanism, with eco-friendly features, innovative architecture, and multi-purpose use. The area around it includes Umekita Park (うめきた公園), an expansive green space that connects business and leisure, and Umekita Square (うめきた広場), a spacious plaza designed for public events.
The walk continues to other popular Umeda landmarks such as LUCUA Osaka, Atrium Plaza, Yodobashi Umeda Tower, and the vibrant shopping and dining complex HEP FIVE with its iconic red Ferris wheel. Locations such as Carillon Plaza and Hankyu Sun Plaza add to the charm of Umeda as a gathering place for locals and tourists alike.
This video captures not only the architectural beauty of this evolving district but also its cultural charm, urban dynamics, and emphasis on livability. Attractions like the maze artwork on Osaka Station’s floor, the Grass Square, 'Inspiration Path' and the artistic 'Gate Lantern' further emphasize the combination of creativity and function within this space.
