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

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.

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.
