There are cafes and restaurants on the upper floors, and it is a commercial facility where you can enjoy the whole day, even if it rains. Also, in September 2018, an amusement called VR ZONE, where you can experience the latest VR, will open, so it seems that it will evolve into a facility that makes it easier to enjoy rainy days.

From the 12th floor to the 14th floor, there is a wide variety of restaurants as Abeno Harukas Dining. Especially recommended on rainy days is the Abeno Harukas Museum on the 16th floor. You rarely go to the museum without getting wet because it’s directly connected to the station. Here, a special exhibition whose contents change depending on the time is held.
