Thank you! Osaka Tsutenkaku Tower

5th Visit to Kansai

This time I thought of Tsutenkaku because I saw someone sharing the Chiikawa commemorative coin they got at Tsutenkaku.

✔️ Tsutenkaku Tower
The reason is super simple → it’s all for the Chiikawa collaboration commemorative coin + limited merchandise!
You can also stroll around Shinsekai shopping street and capture the classic old Osaka atmosphere of Tsutenkaku, perfect for photos.

✔️ Shinsekai Shopping Street (right around Tsutenkaku)
Colorful neon lights + huge 3D billboards, full of Osaka’s unique charm.
