[2025 Osaka Attraction] Travel Guide for Tsutenkaku (Updated Apr)

#AustraliaFlightEvent I heard this street is famous in Osaka these days..! Shinsekai Hondori Street with Tsutenkaku in view looks like a background from an animation :) It seems like all kinds of signs have gathered to create a wonderful street. 📍Shinsekai Hondori Shopping Street 新世界本通商店街 Dotonbori Glico Sign is a place that can be called Osaka's signature. That's why there are so many people. If you go down under Ebisu Bridge, you can take pictures in a place with fewer people. 📍Dotonbori Glico Sign 道頓堀グリコサイン / 1 Chome-10-3 Dotonbori, Chuo Ward, Osaka, 542-0071 Japan #TravelPlan #OverseasTravel #JapanTravel #OsakaTravel #Osaka #Japan #PlacesToVisitInOsaka #OsakaHotPlaces #japan #osaka

Osaka is a vibrant and charming city where history, modernity, and unique street culture blend together, offering surprises at every corner. During this trip, I visited Osaka Castle, Shinsekai, and the Umeda shopping district, and also sought out the famous Glico Running Man sign in Dotonbori. Each place left me with deep memories. First, I was amazed by the grandeur of Osaka Castle. Standing in front of it, I could feel the majesty and magnificence of this historical building. From the top of the main tower, I had a panoramic view of Osaka city, and especially in autumn and winter, the surrounding maple and ginkgo trees added a romantic and nostalgic atmosphere to the castle. Next, I arrived at Shinsekai, which was filled with the nostalgia of the Showa era. The Tsutenkaku Tower stood tall in the center of the street, surrounded by colorful neon signs and local specialty foods. The kushikatsu (fried skewers) here is a must-try, and paired with a cold draft beer, it was an unforgettable taste. Umeda is a paradise for shopping enthusiasts. High-end department stores, trendy clothing, electronics, and the latest products and a variety of choices can all be found here. Especially at the Floating Garden Observatory of the Umeda Sky Building, you can enjoy the most magnificent night view of Osaka, which was breathtaking. Lastly, I couldn't miss the Glico Running Man landmark in Dotonbori! Taking a photo in front of the neon sign and feeling the passion and energy of this city, I couldn't help but be captivated by the joyful atmosphere. Osaka is an unforgettable city. It is full of charm in every aspect, from food to shopping to culture. I look forward to visiting again and discovering more hidden surprises!

#OsakaTravel When traveling to Osaka, you must visit Shinsekai Shopping Street. The scenery and culture here are different from other places in Osaka. You can see the most authentic and simple Osaka people, and even people you don’t know will come and talk to you. The first generation of Tsutenkaku was built in 1912, and its appearance was modeled after the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The current Tsutenkaku is the second generation, and its designer is the same as that of Tokyo Tower. The tower is about 100 meters high, and its name means "a tall building reaching into the sky." Osaka Shinsekai Tsutenkaku has a great street view, many fried skewers restaurants, and various interesting signs. Once you enter Tsutenkaku and want to go up to the observation deck, you will have to queue for 10 to 40 minutes when there are many people because there is only one elevator. The long queue starts from B1, and you can feel that Tsutenkaku is trying to make it interesting, with must-buy souvenirs, free Tsutenkaku paper models, a whole row of capsule toy areas, etc. The observatory offers a panoramic view of Osaka's streets. There are also many souvenirs and gifts available for purchase inside Tsutenkaku. The mascot of Tsutenkaku is Billiken, and it is said that touching his feet can make wishes come true and bring good luck. The "Tower Slider", which opened in 2022, is also known as the Tsutenkaku slide. It is a giant slide with a height of 60 meters and a slope of 30 degrees. Most of the restaurants in Shinsekai Shopping Street maintain Osaka's usual exaggerated and brightly colored signboards. Osaka Shinsekai Shopping Street and Tsutenkaku are recommended for everyone to visit.

Tsutenkaku is a symbol and tourist attraction of Osaka. It was very lively with tourists from Japan and abroad. The flashy neon signs that are typical of Osaka are all eye-catching. Tsutenkaku Tower also changes into various colors. There are so many kushikatsu restaurants that it's hard to choose, but basically all of them are crowded at night. It's easily accessible from the Tennoji, Dobutsuen-mae, and Ebisu-cho subway stations, and it's fun just to stroll around on foot and enjoy the atmosphere of the downtown area☺️ #0 yen trip November

#JapanTravel Tsutenkaku is a place where many people visit to enjoy various restaurants, observation decks, and streets~ I happened to visit a home-style restaurant on Tsutenkaku Street where even locals line up. I wanted to eat rice that was different from the rich Japanese food, so I went there, and just like the name home-style food, I could choose the side dishes I wanted and eat them with rice and soup. The menu also has Korean, but there are some strange parts, so please note! I was in Japan for about a week at the time, so I ate it because it tasted like home-cooked food. However, because Japanese food is a bit salty, the side dishes are a bit salty, so I remember eating a lot of riceㅎㅎ If you are looking for a Japanese home-style restaurant, look for 'here' in Tsutenkaku! 📍Azuma Shokudo 2 Chome-5-7 Ebisuhigashi, Naniwa Ward, Osaka, 556-0002 Japan

I tried out the Tsutenkaku Dive & Walk, which just opened in July 2024. Tsutenkaku Dive & Walk is an attraction where you walk around the perimeter of Tsutenkaku, a popular tourist spot in Osaka, wearing a safety rope. You check in at a facility a little away from the regular entrance gate, and then you put on a safety rope and helmet and climb the stairs of Tsutenkaku. You can't carry anything, such as a cell phone, but you can take three photos with a fixed camera and receive the data. If you don't do the Dive & Walk and have someone accompany you, that person can bring their cell phone, so it's a good idea to have someone accompany you if you want to take lots of photos.

Tsutenkaku is full of colorful neon signs Very large and bold There are a lot of people at night, and the atmosphere is great! The entire street used to be lined with Kabuki theaters, although now many of them are mainly restaurants. The theater's outdoor signs are still preserved on the streets and outside the restaurant In the past, we relied on these paintings to attract customers! Very exaggerated! If you go to Tsutenkaku, you can go to the observation deck. There is an extension platform where you can see the entire Osaka city scenery Especially the night view! Very shocking! The restaurants there are also very diverse. 📍Osaka Tsutenkaku #GlobalTravel

One day is really not enough for a city walk in Osaka 😭. I regretted not having enough time the last two times I came here, so I came again this time! I finally took pictures of all the places I wanted to take pictures of! And ate a lot of great food! . 1️⃣Tsutenkaku p1 Like the scenes in anime, colorful and lively 2️⃣Umeda Hep Five Ferris Wheel p2 The Ferris wheel with an Osaka urban feel, shopping and street photography, Umeda is also very suitable for photographing urban beauties 3️⃣Temma Market p3 Osaka's most lively place, a place for late-night snacks, drinks, and gatherings of local young people at night 4️⃣Dotonbori p4 10 Taking pictures of the Glico billboard and the cruise ship on the bridge, this is really Osaka! Tourists on the boat will greet people on both sides of the river. The night in Osaka never stops. 5️⃣Osaka Station p5,9 There is a huge bear at the entrance of the station, and an old clock inside the station, which can give you the feeling of a time traveler. Osaka Station is very grand and has plenty of space for taking fashionable photos. 6️⃣Namba Yasaka Shrine p6 The Lion Head is very distinctive and a standard check-in spot. Go early and you can take pictures and leave in a few minutes. 7️⃣Shinsaibashi Osaka Specialty Angry Uncle p7 After dinner, you can check in at Shinsaibashi. The lights will be turned off if you stay too late. 8️⃣PL Tower p8 It looks like an alien object generated by AI, very sci-fi. It is far away, so it is recommended to consider it if you have a two-day or more trip to Osaka. 9️⃣ Universal Studios Osaka p11 Mario Park is in Osaka, and it is exactly the same as the game scene. It is another happy day. 🔟Michelin food experience This Kaiseki Sushi Omakase in Shinsaibashi has fulfilled my long-time dream of eating high-end Japanese food. There is no name on the door and the door is very hidden and easy to miss... The performance of the Michelin chef and the taste experience are worth the trip! 📍Sushi Kaze no Gi (Wind and Rice) .

🗼Japan's first elevator, Tsutenkaku, an iconic building in Osaka The first building was built in 1912 and was the tallest building in the East at that time. 🗼The second generation was designed by Naito Takanaka, the designer of Tokyo Tower, and it has a history of more than 60 years! Because of this, many restaurants, pharmacies, and beauty stores have opened up around the area. 🗼You can use the Osaka Amazing Pass to exchange tickets for free and use the three-story high fastest slide for free (the special observation deck on the top floor requires an additional fee). There are many displays inside Tsutenkaku introducing the history and culture of Osaka, allowing people to have a deeper understanding of the city's past and present. Due to the old equipment and only two elevators, if you are unlucky, it may take up to an hour to queue for the elevator. It is recommended to choose an unpopular time to visit to avoid waiting in line. 🗼Apart from the fact that you may have to wait in line for a long time, you can see the history and culture, and there are exciting slides to experience. I personally think that Tsutenkaku and the surrounding areas are still attractions worth visiting. #Osaka Attractions
