About

The Tsutenkaku is a new structure, rebuilt after World War II. The original Tsutenkaku was built in 1912, and it shocked the people of that era; with a height of 64 meters, it was the tallest structure in the Orient. It was also one of the two great attractions of Shin-Sekai at that time, the other being Luna Park, an amusement park with an area of more than 132,000 square meters. Eventually the Tsutenkaku, which reminded local residents of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, became the symbol of Osaka. But then in 1943 a fire broke out in the tower, and it was later dismantled to supply steel to the wartime economy. After various difficulties were overcome, the long-awaited new Tsutenkaku was erected in 1956.

Passing through the sea of cherry blossoms in Osaka Castle and surrounding parks, the famous street of Midosuji, and the Shinsekai area where Tsutenkaku is located, you will be greeted by tourists enthusiastically waving and cheering on the way, making you feel like a star 👍 Highly recommended, but remember to please place your order when ordering Arrive at the store early before the start (the start time is shown on the order)

This attraction is one of my most anticipated attractions. It is located near Tennoji Station. It is recommended to visit Tsutenkaku from noon to afternoon, and then go up in the evening to see the night view. Use the QR code to queue up for tickets, follow the instructions and slowly take the elevator, and arrive at the observatory very quickly. Once the elevator opens, it is very touching and spectacular. If you use a mobile phone to take photos at night, you can adjust the exposure by +0.3~+0.7 for better results. better! The great thing is that this trip can also be redeemed for takoyaki and oden. In the cold weather, you can sit outside in 58 and watch the night view and eat the food in the 58 sky garden. It is very comfortable. There is a souvenir shop on the 59th floor. I will come back next time Come! This is my best birthday gift💝

Tsutenkaku is a classic attraction in Osaka. You can buy tickets directly. It is very convenient. If you need it next time, you will buy it again. Just swipe Qrcord.

Kimono rental time is until the evening. If you have enough time, you can go shopping and take photos at nearby attractions, such as Tsutenkaku Tower, Shopping Street, Tennoji Park and the Zoo...etc.

I have always wanted to experience it before, but sprinting with big cars in traffic queues really makes me very nervous. After I got used to it, I started to enjoy the scenery and experience along the way. Along the way, I passed various famous attractions such as Osaka Castle, Tsutenkaku, and Shinobu. Saibashi, etc., passers-by will pick up their mobile phones to take pictures of you and wave to you to say hello, which is really fun! The boss will also stop at various attractions to take photos for you. He sincerely recommends it to everyone who wants to go to Japan. You must go there! (=´∀`) people (´∀`=) liked it~

After leaving Tsutenkaku, I still had time, so I decided to visit Abeno more. The distance between the two places is very close. It takes about 20 minutes to walk. I bought the ticket while walking, and I received the voucher within 1 minute, which is super fast! ! ! After arriving at the Abeno Building, take the elevator directly to the 16th floor. At the Red Dragon, there will be staff scanning the voucher to help exchange it into a paper ticket. It is very convenient~ If the time and budget allow, it is recommended to take a look~~~

It’s quite shocking, and the C/P value is also high. If you want to see the scenery of Osaka or take pictures, you don’t need to go to Tsutenkaku, and come directly to Abeno Harukas👍👍👍
