Tsutenkaku is a 103m tower in the retro Shinsekai district, an Osaka symbol since its original 1912 structure (demolished during WWII and rebuilt in its current form in 1956). Its main observation deck offers city views and houses Billiken, a good-luck charm figure popular with visitors, while illuminated signage — including a large Hitachi-branded display and a weather-forecasting neon light near the top — makes the tower a Shinsekai landmark after dark.
