Step by Step
Discover the vibrant energy and authentic character of Osaka with a visit to the Tsutenkaku Tower, one of the city's most iconic architectural symbols. Originally built in 1912 and rebuilt after a fire, this observation tower has become a landmark of the urban skyline and the joyful spirit of Osaka locals.
From its observation deck, known as the Golden Observatory, you can enjoy 360-degree views of everything from the trendy Namba district to more traditional parts of the city. It's the perfect place to take memorable photographs and get a full view of Osaka's mix of history and modernity.
During the visit you can also meet the famous Billiken, a curious statue with an affable smile that is considered a symbol of good fortune. Rubbing its feet is a local tradition to bring good luck. This, along with the neon lights that illuminate the tower at night, make Tsutenkaku both a visual and cultural experience.
The tower is located in the heart of Shinsekai, a neighbourhood that retains the retro charm of post-war Japan. Before or after your visit you can explore the shops, street food stalls and nostalgic atmosphere.
The ticket is valid for 60 days from purchase, giving you flexibility in organising your visit. Just remember that you will have to wait in a short queue to get into the lift to the observatory.
