Tsutenkaku

(Source : pixta)
Tsutenkaku is the observation tower in Osaka, also known as the symbolic tower of Osaka. You can look out over Osaka city from a height of 100 meters. This distinctive structural design is based on combining the Arch of Triumph with Eiffel Tower from Paris, France. Tsutenkaku is not a very tall tower, but it matches the heart warming feel of downtown “shinsekai," or a new world, that is unique to Osaka. Many tourists visit this tourist spot every year and it is much loved by the locals.

Observation deck

Tsutenkaku has an observation deck that is located 100 meters above the ground. Mount Ikoma and Mount Rokko, representative mountains of the Kansai area, can be seen on days when the weather is clear. It is also nice to enjoy the landscape that has a distinctive Osaka feel under your feet. We also recommend the night view.
