The Tsūtenkaku tower is a well-known landmark of Osaka, Japan, and a symbol of the Shinsekai district. Standing at only 100 meters tall, it may not be the tallest tower around some say that it was inspired by the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe. It has several observation decks with views of the city, as well as exhibits and artifacts showing the vibrant history of the area. On the fifth floor, you can find the statue of Billiken, the God of Happiness, who is said to grant wishes to those who rub his feet and make a donation.

Even if you choose not to go up the tower the area is a must-visit spot for those looking to experience the old-school charm of Osaka around Shinsekai and grab a fulfilling meal.
