An eye-catching tower which can be seen almost anywhere around Shinsekai District for it used to be the second tallest tower in Asia. Standing proudly since 1912, it has become one of Osaka’s icons, which miniature and souvenir could be easily found anywhere at touristy area around the city. Mostly visitor comes to this tower whether for taking picture of each attractive shopping street in Shinsekai with the tower as a background or for saying some pray while rubbing the sole of Billiken’s feet at the tower observation deck. Whatever it is, I’ve always been the first type.
