Tsutenkaku Tower
In 1912, a 75-meter steel tower modeled after the Eiffel Tower was built atop a building inspired by the Arc de Triomphe. It is said that Nangaku Fujisawa, a Confucian scholar from the early Meiji period, named it Tsutenkaku, meaning “a tall building reaching toward heaven.” The original tower was later dismantled following a fire, but strong public demand led to the construction of the current second-generation Tsutenkaku Tower in 1956. Standing 108 meters tall, it is 33 meters higher than the original.
The shopping streets around here feel a bit old and even kind of run-down. At night, some of the alleys nearby have a weird vibe, and the area doesn't feel very safe.

Abeno Harukas
A 300-meter-tall mixed-use skyscraper that opened in 2014. The second basement through 14th floors house the Kintetsu Department Store Main Store Abeno Harukas and Abeno Harukas Dining.
The night view is absolutely beautiful. Looking out over every corner of the city is really special.

Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens
This expansive zoo and botanical gardens covers approximately 148 acres and also features an amusement park, making it nearly impossible to see everything in a single day. The zoo is home to approximately 450 animal species, including its iconic koalas and many other popular animals.
There are so many different kinds of animals, and the park layout is really spacious. Almost every area has a restroom, which is super convenient.
