Tsūtenkaku, located in Osaka, Japan, is a well-known landmark and symbol of the city's resilience and vibrancy. Originally constructed in 1912, the tower was designed to emulate the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Arc de Triomphe. After being damaged by a fire in 1943, it was reconstructed in 1956 to its current height of 103 meters. Tsūtenkaku is situated in the Shinsekai district, an area known for its retro atmosphere and culinary delights, especially kushikatsu (deep-fried skewers). Visitors can enjoy panoramic views of Osaka from the observation decks, which also feature a statue of Billiken, a deity believed to bring good luck.
