Grand Front Osaka

This guide to Grand Front Osaka traces the ground beneath the towers back to Umeda Freight Station, which kept the city's shops and factories stocked with rail cargo from 1928 until the trains stopped for good in 2013. You'll hear how quickly cranes moved onto the same yard afterward, and about the Knowledge Capital floor where visitors can handle prototype gadgets, a quiet echo of the old depot. The guide also follows the wider Umekita district that planners see this complex as only the opening act of.
