The Osaka Prefectural Government Sakishima Building (大阪府咲洲庁舎, Ōsaka fu Sakishima chōsha), or Cosmo Tower (コスモタワー, Kosumo Tawā), is the second tallest building in Osaka, and the third-tallest building in Japan. The former name is Osaka World Trade Center Building (大阪ワールドトレードセンタービルディング, Ōsaka Wārudo Torēdo Sentā Birudingu), or WTC Cosmo Tower (WTCコスモタワー, Daburyūtīshī Kosumo Tawā) until June, 2010. It is the same height as the Rinku Gate Tower Building in Rinku Town, located in Nanko Cosmo Square near the Osaka harbor, Suminoe-ku, Osaka.
