[From Eeyan ! Osaka Shopping Street] An irreplaceable symbol of Osaka. The kind smile of Billiken, the god of happiness who lives in Tsutenkaku Tower

Tsutenkaku, the symbolic tower of Osaka, is located at Ebisucho Station on the Osaka Metro Sakaisuji Line and Dobutsuenmae Station on the Midosuji Line. Nearby are the Tobita Hondori Shopping Street (Dobutsuenmae Ichibangai and Nibangai), and the area is bustling with people looking for sightseeing and food.

Billiken is enshrined on the observation deck of the tower.

Billiken was born in America in 1908. It is said that the origin of the statue is that a creator embodied the god of happiness that he saw in a dream.

The words "THE GOD OF THINGS AS THEY OUGHT TO BE", which refer to the omnipotent God, are engraved on Billiken's base, and Billiken always watches over people, wishing that they will be happy just as they are.

The observation deck is a jutting out observation deck with a see-through floor at its tip. You can take a walk in the sky while feeling the breeze of Osaka.

An irreplaceable symbol of Osaka. Come and experience Tsutenkaku Tower, where you can walk in the sky, and the gentle smile of Billiken, the god of happiness.
