    Tsutenkaku's highlights are the observation deck, attractions, Billiken, and the surrounding scenery. The observation deck offers a panoramic view of Osaka's cityscape, and the views from the "Golden Observatory" and "TIP THE TSUTENKAKU," where you can see through to your feet, are particularly popular. Attractions include the "TOWER SLIDER," where you can slide down the tower, and the "WALK," where you can try out some athletic activities. Another feature of the tower is that there are multiple "Billiken," beloved as the god of good fortune, inside.
