Osaka! Tsutenkaku is a treasure trove of trivia.

The inside of Tsutenkaku, which is not often highlighted, is actually quite fascinating. The observatory is, of course, wonderful, but the objects and dioramas on display are also charming and very characteristic of Osaka. At the entrance staircase, there are posters in Kansai dialect (Naniwa language), and I was surprised by words that are not part of the common national language. In the elevator, I even saw a homage to a certain movie, and I never got bored at all. I really recommend it.
