Tsutenkaku

Really cool retro spot in Osaka. It’s an iconic landmark with a nostalgic, fun twist. The observation deck offers amazing views of the city, the quirky Billiken statue adds charm, and the surrounding Shinsekai district pulses with retro neon energy and great food. If you’re building your Osaka itinerary, this is a memorable stop worth including.

The tower is really cool from the outside day or night. We paid to go up and the slide, however the queues were so long and we weren't really told about them, that we decided we didnt want to queue for the slide after having to queue fo so long to go to the observation tower. Also we paid to go out on the outside bit, but it was confusing and ended up in a lift back to the ground floor. All in all a bit of a fail, but its a great tower from the outside. Probably wouldn't recommend going up if you've already been up Tokyo Tower.

I came here more than 7 years ago when there were not as crowded as now. You need to pay extra 300 yen to go to the top of the tower to get a better view and get a feel of the breeze. Queue to reserve a time slot to enter though. Without the Amazing Pass, I don't think I will come here again. You can have a meal after the visit at the surrounding areas.

We had a day trip in Osaka and spent most of our time shopping so we wanted to see something else. This tower is very cute. It's fairly low tech and a little whimsical with the odd mascot and video they play in the elevator. Definitely recommend the outer terrace view to not get glare in your photos. There is also a slide that people were doing!

I popped the area for a visit after dinner one evening. I did not go up the tower but took pictures of it from the street. It didn't seem as tall as I imagined but it was certainly one of the more popular landmarks here. The tower had good lighting and can be seen from all points arounf the block.

Super fun retro style tower with great views of the city. Recommend getting the extra pass for the outdoor observation deck, you get great photos! Be prepared to queue for a while to get up to the deck though.

One of my favourite things in Osaka! The view is stunning and super cool! We mostly enjoyed the balcony with glass floor :)) It’s not crowded at all and it’s very affordable as well!

We had the amazing pass so it was included in that otherwise I don't think I'd pay to do this on its own. We did get to see the sunset which was great. But there are more impressive towers in Japan.
