  • Landmark

a piece of local history and an invaluable part of the city's character.

In the early twentieth century, Shinsekai was the newest entertainment district in Osaka, with modern technology such as aerial lifts, neon lights, and streetcars clanging up and down the nearby boulevards. While it has lost some of that glamorous feel, Tsutenkaku tower as well s many old shops and eating establishments remain, keeping the retro spirit of old Osaka alive to this day. Shinsekai was originally built to resemble New York City on one half and Paris on the other, with Tsutenkaku as its shining centerpieces. The tower was first built in 1912, modeled closely after the Eiffel Tower, and rebuilt again in 1956 after being wrapped during World War2 for materials. It was think ¥s to local donations and neighborhoood organization efforts that this tower was rebuilt, as people in Osaka, and especially those in the Shinsekai area, saw it is a piece of local history and an invaluable part of the city's character.

Tsutenkaku

Tutenkaku is slightly different in snap than the original while still retaining the original feel, and the current incarnation is illuminated spectacularly at night by Hitachi lighting. It stands at 103 meters, which is not extraordinary tall but still afford a running view of the most of Osaka City and sunset over the day. As for the old streetcars of Shinsekai, Hankai Tramwat operates the last two remaining lines in Osaka, one of which still runs in front of Tsutenkaku and stops near Shinsekai's northern and southern entrances.
Tsutenkaku is one of the three symbolic sights of Osaka and Osaka castle, and Shinsekai is a unique neighborhood you won't find anywhere else in Japan. By all means, make these part of your Osaka itinerary

Cost

Tsutenkaku costs 600yen for adult, 500yen ofr university student, 400yen for middle and high school students, 300yen for children younger than that, and 400yen for handicapped guests.
