It’s kind of retro and pretty cute. The Shinsekai area around it is lively, with kushikatsu places one after another—perfect for eating and wandering at the same time.
Tsutenkaku itself isn’t that tall, but it’s still fun to go up for the view and rub the Billiken statue for a bit of good luck.
It’s not really a polished, fancy kind of spot, but it feels very down-to-earth. If you want to experience Osaka’s local vibe, it’s a great stop.

The plants in the park are starting to bloom, and the flowers add so much color everywhere. Walking around, you can enjoy cherry blossoms, plum blossoms, and other spring flowers. Lots of people have picnics here and spend a great time with family and friends. It's a really nice park.

The restaurant has a real sense of history. I ordered the steamed udon noodles with rich curry sauce, and it was absolutely delicious. No wonder it's their signature dish.

I was so excited when I first entered Edo Wonderland! It really felt like stepping back into the Edo period. Everyone was happy to try on costumes, and the kids wanted to dress up as ninjas. The streets and shops have such a historic vibe. We learned a lot about Edo culture and had a really fun and meaningful afternoon here.

Some buildings aren't open for visitors, but just walking around and seeing them from the outside, you can't help but admire how carefully the Japanese preserve these historic houses. You really get a sense of the Edo period here.

Taking part in the Takayama Festival was truly impressive. The parade features all kinds of performers—drum teams, dance groups, and traditional bands—dressed in gorgeous costumes, playing unique music, and dancing beautifully. It's a feast for the eyes and ears, and you really get to feel the charm of Japanese culture.

The custard cream filling in Goyoutei no Tsuki is super rich and just the right amount of sweet. It's moist, not dry at all, and I can see why it won an award at the National Confectionery Expo in Japan.

Karukan has a light and refreshing texture, not overly sweet or heavy. Its subtle flavor makes it especially enjoyable on a hot summer day, and you can really appreciate the unique qualities of traditional Japanese sweets.

After visiting the samurai houses, I really felt how much Japan values the preservation and passing down of its traditional culture. This experience gave me a much deeper understanding and appreciation of Japanese history and culture.
