The symbol of Osaka, Tsutenkaku, nestled in the flashy New World area! Familiar specialty signs and attractions that can only be experienced here are getting more talked about. A thorough guide to how to enjoy Tsutenkaku loved by Osakans!
You can't take it off for sightseeing in Osaka! What kind of place is Tsutenkaku?
Tsutenkaku is a famous tower that has been loved for 110 years since it was born in 1912. The first generation was built with the motif of the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, and the current second generation was born in 1956 under the design of Mr. Naitou Tachiu, who worked on the Tokyo Tower.
Outdoor advertising signs have been renewed to LED, and a variety of messages can be displayed on large signage on the south side! The large clock at the top of the tower has also moved from the east to the south, and the images in conjunction with the large signage can also be distributed.
Inside such a 108m high tower, a lot of fun is waiting for you, such as exquisite views, visiting Billiken, and even hands-on attractions.
Speaking of Tsutenkaku, the observation deck. First of all, say hello to Billiken on the 5th floor!
First of all, there are four locations in the tower: "Light Observation Deck" on the 4th floor, "Golden Observation Deck" on the 5th floor, and a special open-air observation deck "Tembo Paradise" & "TIP THE TSUTENNKAKU" on the rooftop.
Located 87.5m above the ground, the fifth floor is the "Golden Observatory" floor, a tribute to the Golden Tea House of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. If you look over the city of Osaka from the space of one side gold, you will meet the famous Billiken. It is a staple for the god who controls all things to visit by stroking the soles of his feet.
There is a special outdoor observation deck "Observation Paradise" on the rooftop floor above, and you can go up by paying an additional fee (300 yen for adults, children 200 yen). The 360-degree view without obstruction, which overlooks the wind of 94.5m above the ground, is the best! You can also overlook the skyscraper, the Abeno Harukas.
The leaping observatory "TIP THE TSUTENKAKU", which protrudes about 5.4m to the outside, is thrilling!
The leap-out observatory has a see-through floor at the tip, and your legs are squeamish involuntarily. By all means experience the pounding feeling of being suspended in the air.
■ Bounce Observation Deck "TIP THE TSUTENKAKU"
Entrance fee: Special outdoor observatory separate adults 300 yen, children (5 to 14 years old) 200 yen
Opening hours: 10-19:50 (19:30 final entry) * No entry during wet and high winds
Then, by the stairs, to the "light observation deck" on the fourth floor. At night, you can enjoy a variety of lighting patterns, with flashy lighting and a mirror ball production.
The latest attraction "Dive & Walk" is the topic!
"Dive & Walk" is a two-part attraction: "Walk", which circles the outer roof of the third-floor intermediate observation deck, which is about 26m high, and "Dive", which jumps about 14m down from the middle tower.
In "Walk", the heart rate suddenly increases to the experience of wearing a lifeline at the middle observation deck on the third floor, and while experiencing the athletic experience, going around the outer perimeter without handrails!
In "Dive", we go up to the middle part of the tower, where you can see the view about 40m above the ground, and jump to the roof of the third floor intermediate observation deck, about 14m below. As you jump down while looking down at the city of the New World, you can taste more fear than you can imagine!
"Dive & Walk" is a separate fee from the admission fee and is also available for "Dive & Walk" only.
■ "Dive & Walk"
Usage fee: Adult (15 to 65 years old) 3000 yen * Height and weight restrictions
Opening hours: 10-20 (19 o'clock last reception) * It may be closed due to weather
"TOWER SLIDER" is a thrilling slide that spirals down the outer perimeter of the elevator tower from 22m above the ground to the first floor below the ground.
The tower slider is separate from the entrance fee, and the use of only the tower slider is OK. If you pay for it on the first basement floor, take the elevator to the second floor, then take the spiral staircase to the third floor. The incline is about 30 degrees, so steep that you can't see the point when you look into the course through the ride gate.
Stand by at the departure gate and finally start when you are on your back!
The course, which skids about 60m in total length in about 10 seconds, seems like a flash and is surprisingly long! Because the slope ceiling is transparent, those who can afford it can also enjoy while looking up at Tsutenkaku. Also, it's a nice point to be able to download a free video that shows the start and goal!
■ "TOWER SLIDER"
Usage fee: Adults (15 to 65 years old) 1000 yen, children (5 to 14 years old) 500 yen * Height and weight restrictions

There is also a floor where you can enjoy learning the history of Tsutenkaku
On the third floor, dioramas, footage and photographs of the city of the New World, which was about 100 years old, and of the amusement park Luna Park, where the first tsutenkaku stood, are on display, and there is plenty to see.
Looking at the elaborate dioramas, you feel like you 've slipped back in time 100 years!
Get souvenirs on the 2nd floor & 1st basement!
On the second floor, there is an official shop. Osaka's unique souvenirs are lined up with "tsutenkaku" and Billiken-san motifs.

Light up the color changes depending on the season!
A shimmering light-up is also a must-see at night. This is the normal lit version.
In addition, the color that changes according to the four seasons is also beautiful! From the left, the picture is the pattern of the season of spring, summer, autumn and winter.
The large clock at the top of the tower changes digitally and analog to convey the time, and it can also become a message of temperature and humidity! Check it out as it changes every moment.
