Time Out says

Umeda is the heart and soul of Osaka, the city’s business, shopping, culinary and transportation hub, where millions of people go to work and play every day. And right in the middle of it all lies Grand Green Osaka, a former cargo yard transformed into a multipurpose development incorporating art, culture and leisure into everyday city life.

Opened in stages from September 2024 onward, the glistening complex adjacent to JR Osaka Station offers an engaging and sustainable vision of Osaka’s future across the 11-acre Umekita Park. The area features three luxury hotels, dozens of shops and restaurants and some spectacular architecture.

Highlights include creative hub VS., a symbol of the cultural kaleidoscope that is Osaka; Umekita Onsen Ren, a spa facility complete with hot-spring baths, saunas, and an infinity pool overlooking Umekita Park; and Rohto Heart Square Umekita, a home for events ranging from concerts to conferences and caressed by a massive undulating steel roof designed by Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa of the Pritzker-winning architectural unit SANAA.

Last but certainly not least, Grand Green is also home to Asia’s first Time Out Market, the food and cultural market that brings the best of the city together under one roof.

What’s on

Night Park at Grand Green Osaka

Night Park at Grand Green Osaka is billed by its organisers as an ‘urban night economy experiment’. The project features a programme of innovative, after-dark experiences designed to explore the area's potential after sundown. A highlight of the event is ‘Echo’, an interactive installation by Montreal-based start-up Mirari, found on the first floor of the South Building at Grand Green Osaka. This award-winning multidisciplinary studio is known for their large-scale multimedia works and immersive environments that transform spaces into sensory experiences. Though minimalist in appearance, 'Echo' uses advanced technology to translate sound into pulses of light, creating a mesmerising visualisation of human communication. Other elements of the Night Park project include takeaway dining in collaboration with Time Out Market Osaka as well as a selection of public art programmes to help boost the area’s nighttime appeal.
