Tsutenkaku Tower is the symbol of Shinsekai, an area known for its retro Osaka atmosphere, featuring lanterns shaped like fugu (blowfish) and vibrant signboards. The top observation deck offers a panoramic view of the city, and visitors can find the Billiken statue, which is said to bring good luck when you rub its feet. Over the years, Tsutenkaku has introduced new attractions, including a special outdoor observation deck and a thrilling tower slide. Nearby, you can explore “Janjan Yokocho,” a 130-meter-long alley filled with about 50 kushikatsu and doteyaki eateries, as well as Spa World, which features 17 types of baths from 12 countries, and Tennoji Zoo, where you can enjoy close encounters with a variety of animals in an urban setting. This area offers plenty to see and do, making it a great place for a full-day excursion.
