BESTIt was so nice. It's wide open and not that high, but you can really see everything. And be sure to pay extra and go to the observatory at the top. It was the best.
Osaka's representative landmark,
Osaka Tsutenkaku
Osaka Tsutenkaku is highly recommended for those who visit Osaka but don't know where to go, or for those who want to see the beautiful view of Osaka at a glance! Unlike regular observatories, Osaka Tsutenkaku is a place with a lot of things to see as it combines various exhibitions, photo spots, cafes, and an observatory.
Tsutenkaku is a landmark tower in Osaka. It is located on Shinsekai Street, Ebisubhigashi, Naniwa-ku, Osaka, and is a great place to visit while enjoying shopping and sightseeing in the area. Also, if you are a manga fanatic, I highly recommend you visit this place as it appears often in comics set in Osaka!
Enjoy with various exhibitions
Scenery of Osaka
Visit the exciting observatory filled with excitement with various lights and mirror balls! The observatory is beautiful during the day, but even more beautiful at night. There are various exhibitions on each floor.
In Tsutenkaku Garden, there is Ganesha, the elephant who makes dreams come true, so if you have a wish that hasn't come true, tell the elephant carefully.
Like a museum, there are many things to see and souvenirs to keep your memories of the observatory. Make unforgettable memories at the dazzling observatory, which is beautiful during the day and dazzling at night!
