Features & How to Enjoy

Classic View

Highlights

Point 1

Outdoor Observatory with a View to Feel the Wind on Your Skin

At Tsutenkaku Tower, there are two outdoor observatories: the "Observation Paradise," which offers unobstructed views from the top of the tower, and the "TIP THE TSUTENKAKU," which is a protruding observation deck. The "Observation Paradise" is located at the top of the tower and offers a view without any obstructions or reflections from windows. It's recommended for those who want to enjoy the view as it is. The "TIP THE TSUTENKAKU" is for those who want to experience the sensation of floating in the air. You can enjoy the thrill and excitement on the transparent floor at the tip of the tower. The fee for both "Observation Paradise" and "TIP THE TSUTENKAKU" is 300 yen for high school students and above, and 200 yen for children from 5 years old to junior high school students.

Point 2

Observatory with Different Atmospheres Depending on the Floor

The general observatory of Tsutenkaku has two floors: the 5th and the 4th. Both are observatories, but the atmosphere inside the building is completely different. The 5th floor is called the "Golden Observatory" and, as the name suggests, the interior is golden! You can enjoy the view of Osaka in an elegant and luxurious atmosphere. There is also a Billiken statue on the 5th floor, and it is said that rubbing its feet brings good luck. If you come all the way here, be sure to touch it at least once. On the other hand, the 4th floor is called the "Light Observatory". During the day, it looks like an ordinary observatory, but at night, it transforms completely. The mirror ball emits light, and the observatory becomes a disco world in an instant. This lively observatory is sure to be a memorable experience!

Point 3

Slider where you can slide while looking up at Tsutenkaku

Did you know that there is a slide when you climb the spiral staircase on the second floor of Tsutenkaku? "TOWER SLIDER" is a new type of attraction where you can slide from the 22m high ground to the first floor in about 10 seconds. You can enjoy the excitement of sliding down the outer circumference of the EV tower at once! Another attractive point is that you can look up at Tsutenkaku while sliding. It's an attraction that both children and adults can enjoy. High school students to 65-year-olds can use it for 1000 yen, and 7-year-olds to junior high school students can use it for 500 yen.

Point 4

Experience Japanese Beauty at the Tsutenkaku Garden

Located on the rooftop of the third floor of Tsutenkaku is the "Tsutenkaku Garden." There, you can find bamboo fences, stone lanterns, and lion statues, creating a Japanese-modern atmosphere reminiscent of a Japanese garden. Once you step into the area, you'll immediately feel a sense of calm. At night, the Tsutenkaku Garden transforms into a completely different sight. The garden is lit up, presenting a fantastic and surreal view. You may be able to experience the beauty of Japan once again. Why not sit on a bench and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere?

Point 5

Exciting Land Perfect for Souvenir Shopping

Located on the basement floor of Tsutenkaku is "Wakuwaku Land". Wakuwaku Land is a perfect place for souvenir shopping, as it features antenna shops from major food manufacturers. Morinaga Confectionery's "Kyorochan's Funny Candy Shop", Ezaki Glico's "Guriko-ya", and Nissin Foods' "Chicken Ramen Hiyoko-chan SHOP" are all available, selling goods and limited edition products. It's a great idea to purchase souvenirs here as a memory of your Osaka sightseeing trip!

Fee

Observatory Admission Fee for High School Students and Above is 900 Yen

The admission fee for the general observatory at Tsutenkaku is 900 yen for high school students and above, and 400 yen for children between 5 years old and middle school students. If you only want to enjoy the indoor view, purchasing this ticket is sufficient. While there is an outdoor observatory and TOWER SLIDER within Tsutenkaku, please note that they require separate fees and cannot be used with the general observatory admission fee. For those visiting Tsutenkaku on weekdays, it is recommended to purchase web tickets for a discounted price. Tickets that include the outdoor observatory are also available, so it's a must-see for those who want to use the outdoor observatory as well!

Sightseeing

Tsutenkaku Tower: Symbol of Osaka's Shinsekai District

Tsutenkaku Tower is the symbol of Osaka's Shinsekai district. The fifth floor serves as an observation deck, offering views of the cityscape of Naniwa. Additionally, the golden Billiken statue greets visitors, and it is said that rubbing the soles of its feet brings good luck. When you visit Tsutenkaku Tower, be sure to give it a try. In fact, the current Tsutenkaku Tower is the second generation, standing at a height of 103 meters. The first Tsutenkaku Tower was 64 meters tall and was dismantled due to a fire. However, as demands for local reconstruction grew, it was decided that the tower would be rebuilt 39 meters taller than the original, becoming a prominent landmark in Osaka. The current Tsutenkaku Tower features a round neon sign at the top, serving the role of indicating tomorrow's weather.

夕方以降にライトアップした通天閣を外から見た方が良いかもです。とにかく並ぶし、降りるのにはもっと時間がかかります。午前中、早めに行ったのでそれでもスムーズに行けた方でした。隣接したタワースライダーという滑り台も面白いと思います。一回行ってみても良いかなと思います。それより向かいの角の喫茶店のパフェやミックスジュース、サンドイッチなど、懐かしいメニューが美味しいそうでした。予定があったので立ち寄れなかったですが、今度、機会が有れば寄りたいです。新世界の商店街も真横にあるし。通天閣周辺でも食べ歩き出来そうでした。

雨の平日夜でしたが受付+エレベータ前の計20分待ちで展望エリアへ。割引ある前売りデジタルチケット購入を忘れて来ましたが、チケット売りと入場受付が一体なので並びがカットできる感じではなかったです。お土産処スルーできるなら観覧は20分で充分かと。(2024.10)

大阪のシンボルタワー。せっかく大阪に来たので展望台まで行ってみることにしました。 1階の入口からB1に降りたところにチケット売り場があります。訪れたのは土曜日の13時頃でしたが、チケット売り場は行列が出来ていました。展望台料金は大人￥1,000なのですが、プラス￥300で特別野外展望台まで行けるというのでセット券を購入。ここからはエレベーターで2階まで行き、さらに展望台まで行くエレベーターに乗り換えないとならないちょっと面倒なつくり。2階まで行くエレベーターに乗るのにも並びましたが、その横を別途料金で楽しめる体験型アトラクションの｢タワースライダー｣の到着口があり、悲鳴を上げながら地上22ｍから約10秒で一気に滑り落ちてくる方々の様子を見ているのも楽しいです。 5階の黄金の展望台はビリケンさんの七福神とビリケン神殿の3代目ビリケンさんがお出迎え。そこからレインボーに光る階段を上がって特別野外展望台へ。ここには跳ね出し展望台があり、先端部分がシースルーになっています。実際に先端に行き足元をのぞくと、結構怖さを感じ面白かったです。さらに階段を上って上に行くと、風を感じながら360度見渡せる眺めは最高でしたよ。 3階では通天閣の歴史をジオラマや映像や写真が展示されていました。100年前の初代通天閣はパリの凱旋門とエッフェル塔を模倣した形で、ルナパークと赤いロープウェイで繋がっていたと知りビックリ。他にもグリコの歴史やポッキーの開発秘話等のパネルなどもあり、展望台に上らなくても充分楽しめるところだと思いました。行ったのは昼間でしたが、夜になると通天閣自体もライトアップされますが、4階の光の展望台は派手な照明とミラーボールに変わるようで、昼も夜もそれぞれ違った楽しさがあるようでした。
