What makes this place special?
At a Glance
Tsutenkaku is Shinsekai’s observation tower, pairing Osaka skyline views with the district’s retro entertainment history.
The indoor route includes the Golden Observation Deck at 87.5 metres, the Light Observation Deck and exhibits about historic Shinsekai. The outdoor Tenbo Paradise deck and TIP overlook are separate ticket options and can close in poor weather. Tower Slider and Dive & Walk are separate attractions with their own conditions. Ebisucho Station’s Exit 3 is about a three-minute walk away.
