Tsutenkaku Tower

Tsutenkaku Tower 🎏 is a landmark tower of Osaka, located in Shinsekai district. It was built in 1912 and was inspired by the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe. At that time, it was 64 m high before burning down in 1943 and rebuilt in 1956 at 103 m high by architect Tachu Naito, the creator of Tokyo Tower. 🗼 On the 5th floor is the Golden Observatory, offering a panoramic view of Osaka and a statue of Billiken (God of Fortune). It is believed that anyone who rubs Billiken's feet will have good luck. There is also a giant slide that is over 60 m long from the 3rd floor down to the basement. It is fun and exciting, but there is an additional charge (1,000 yen). 📍 Ebisu Higashi Naniwa, Osaka City, Japan 🚆 Shin-Imamiya Station 💵 1,200 yen/person #OsakaTravel
