Overview
Ask Osakans what more than anything else symbolizes their city and the majority will tell you with pride that it is the Tsutenkaku Tower. Although the original tower, which was built in 1912, was destroyed in 1943, it was rebuilt in its present form in 1956. At 103 meters tall, the present tower offers a superb view of the whole of the city from the observation platform. The tower is actually located in the old downtown area and is surrounded by 'stand-and-eat' stalls and inexpensive clothing stores.Open Hours
Mo to Su from 10:00 AM to 06:00 PM
The place is brightly lighted up with reflections of the interior of the tower on the window panels, therefore causing the night view not to be clear.
I went there on school trip to Japan. I thought the tower was cool, and when we came back from seeing places are Osaka or others citys never by. I would see Tsutenkaku Tower and feel like I was home again, even though I was only back at my homestay famliys house.
it was very fun a and exciting i would love to go back to the tower
TSU-TEN-KAKU tower is one of symbols of Osaka City,that is located in the area called SHIN-SEKAI(it was named for meaning "a new wonderful world" in japanese about 60 years ago!) near by City Zoo. Around the SHIN-SEKAI area,there are interesting and funny places and people! So not romatic,but exciting . Don't miss it!
