Which literally means ” Tower Reaching Heaven”, is another well-known landmark of Osaka. After three years of living here, I finally came face to face with it.

The tower in the middle, surrounded by shops. One of which is a famous fugu ( blowfish) store.

Another thing that you will notice while walking around the shops is a somewhat funny at the same time scary statue of the Billiken.
