Osaka Station City is the new development of the JR Umeda Station that includes department stores, roof gardens and a cinema. OsakaStation City was completed in 2012, and connected the North Gate Building and South Gate Building of JR Osaka Station by adding a domed roof.

The taller North Gate Building contains office space, a sports club, the multiplex Osaka Station City Cinema, the Isetan Mitsukoshi department store with shopping and restaurants from B2F-10F, the adjacent Lucua shopping complex with around 200 stores as well as restaurants from B1F-10F and three roof garden spaces.

The Yarawagi-no-niwa Plaza (Healing Garden) on the 10th floor is the more popular and is a wide, open plan space for people to relax, enjoy the water feature and gardens as well as enjoy the views out over Osaka city. The Kaze-no-hiroba (Wind Plaza) is a smaller space on the 11th Floor open 7am-midnight.

The North Gate Building entrance leads to the Umeda Hankyu Station on your right as you exit.
