EDGE THE HARUKAS: Japan’s first attraction offering the extreme thrill of a cliff-edge walk! / HARUKAS 300 (Observatory)

Not In Service Now

EDGE THE HARUKAS is an attraction offering the thrill of walking on the edge of a 300-meter cliff. In this attraction, guests, while attached by a harness to a safety rail, walk along a narrow deck about 60 cm in width and 20 m in length newly installed on the glass fence on the top of the 300-meter building of ABENO HARUKAS. This is the first such attraction in Japan^*1 that is operated at such height. Leaning over the edge of the skyscraper, you can look straight down into the streets far below, thoroughly enjoying the panoramic view with no obstacles in all directions.

*1 No other attractions of this kind have been operated at the height of 300 meters above the ground in Japan before, according to our survey.
