A bustling downtown area centered around Tsutenkaku Tower, where the Showa-era retro atmosphere still lingers strongly. Flashy signs crowd the streets, and the savory scent of the famous "Kushikatsu" wafts through the air. Retaining traces of the former theme park area once modeled after world expos, you can experience the nostalgic and incredibly cheerful "local vitality" of Osaka. A treasure trove of cheap and delicious gourmet, it's an area where you can meet the deep, human side of Osaka daily life, loved by travelers worldwide.

Tsutenkaku Tower

An iconic, retro observatory tower in the old "Shinsekai" district. Rubbing the feet of "Billiken-san," the god of good luck, is very popular with travelers. The recently completed 60-meter giant "TOWER SLIDER," which slides from the middle deck to the ground, has gained attention as a thrilling attraction. Along with the flashy shop signs in the surrounding area, you can enjoy a nostalgic and cheerful atmosphere as if slipping back in time to Showa-era Japan.

Mt. Chausu

A historic site of a fierce battle during the Siege of Osaka, where Tokugawa Ieyasu and Sanada Yukimura set up their headquarters. Located in Tennoji Park, this small hill is etched with memories of the final conflict of the warring states era.

A place where you can simultaneously feel the history of Bushido and modern prosperity.
