The setting

Grand Front, opened in 2013, integrates retail, dining, and hospitality into a campus five minutes on foot from JR Osaka Station's vast multi-line hub. The Umeda Sky Building and its Floating Garden Observatory are an eight-minute walk through the Shizen no Mori promenade, and the National Museum of Art is twenty-three minutes by transit. The district is still expanding through the Grand Green Osaka project, keeping Ofukacho at the forefront of the city's commercial and cultural reinvention. 6 km from Osaka Castle.
