[Osaka Prefecture/Rare Spot] After 50 years, a large amount of it has been opened to the public! A place you definitely want to see before next year 🪄⚠️👋

This time we will introduce you to the Tower of the Sun, located in Osaka Prefecture. When you think of Osaka, you think of the Tower of the Sun! It's a symbol that almost everyone knows about, but I'm sure there are many people who have never seen the inside. This time, I'd like to give a 📝 report on the inside of the Tower of the Sun. But why do so many people not know about the inside of the Tower of the Sun, which everyone knows about? 🤔💭 The reason is that the inside of the Tower of the Sun was not open to the public for nearly 50 years after the Expo ended due to durability and legal issues!! After that, in 2018, earthquake-resistance construction work was completed and the inside was opened to the public, but due to reservations and a limit on the number of people, and photography 🙅♀️, it was a place that could only be seen by people who actually visited. However, from 2023, it will be possible to take photos if you follow certain rules👏✨️ (For more information on the rules, please see the tip below) In other words, it has only been possible to take photos in the past year✨️✨️ When I actually visited, I was impressed and surprised to see that the condition of the interior was excellent and that it had become like this‼️🫶 With the Osaka World Expo coming up in 2025, this is the No. 1 place you should definitely visit now!! ! Save it and use it to plan your outing❤️ 📝﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏ Spot details 📍 Tower of the Sun (inside) 🏷️ Senri Expo Park, Suita City, Osaka Prefecture 🕐10:00-17:00 (last entry 17:30) Closed on Mondays 💰 [Just entering the Expo Commemoration Park] Common admission fee for the Natural and Cultural Gardens and Japanese Gardens 260 yen for adults, 80 yen for elementary and junior high school students [If you also want to enter the inside of the Tower of the Sun] Common admission fee for the Natural and Cultural Gardens and Japanese Gardens plus this Admission fee for the Tower of the Sun 720 yen for adults, 310 yen for elementary and junior high school students [When purchasing from the official Tower of the Sun reservation site] Tower of the Sun admission fee + Common admission fee for the Natural and Cultural Gardens and Japanese Gardens set ticket price Adults 930 yen, elementary and junior high school students 380 yen 🚗Additional fees apply - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ✎﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏ Tips 🚗About parking There are several parking lots around Expo Commemoration Park.

In addition, you can only take photos of the exhibits. • You cannot use auxiliary equipment such as monopods (including so-called selfie sticks) or tripods when taking photos. • Photos taken cannot be used for commercial purposes. • Viewing time is approximately 30 minutes. Depending on the time, the prologue space may be crowded. Please visit with plenty of time. • Flash photography is not allowed as it affects the lighting of the exhibits inside the tower. • Photos taken cannot be used for commercial purposes. • Children up to junior high school age cannot enter unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. • There are no toilets in the exhibition space. Please use the toilets beforehand, as the tower is one-way and you cannot go back inside. The toilets are located next to the reception desk on the 1st floor of the Tower of the Sun. • Eating and drinking are prohibited inside the building. Please save this and use it to plan your trip❤️ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - \Couples who love going out/ ▷Instagram @oneandonly.us We are currently posting about places to go out, mainly in Kansai and Shikokuϟ We are also looking for your recommended places👏 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #Instagramworthy #Photoworthy #Osaka #OsakaTourism #OsakaTrip #CoupleTrip #RecommendedForDates #DomesticTrip #TrendingSpots #Sakura2024
