The highlight of Tennoji Zoo is undoubtedly the "African Savannah Zone" where lions and zebras live. It's like being on an African safari. You'll be surprised at the size of the lions as you see them up close through the glass. In addition, there are about 1,000 animals of 170 species living here, including Japan's first hippopotamus underwater viewing exhibition pool, polar bears that jump into the water for an impressive sight, and kiwis that can only be seen at Tennoji Zoo in Japan. The zoo also sells original goods, so why not check out some souvenirs to commemorate your occasion?

Tsutenkaku means ``a high building that leads to the sky.'' First, take the elevator to the observation deck. The Tsutenkaku pamphlet that you receive when you purchase an admission ticket is very useful. It comes with trivia about Tsutenkaku, things to see in the area, and a paper craft of Tsutenkaku that you can enjoy even after you get home. Once completed, paper crafts are great and can even be used as a piggy bank! Then, take the elevator and go to the observation deck 100m above ground! From the observation deck, you can see Mt. Ikoma and Mt. Rokko in Kobe, and the 360-degree panoramic view offers a different view of Osaka from the view from the ground. Also popular is Tsutenkaku's mascot Billiken statue, whose soles are said to bring good luck if you stroke it. The shop on the second floor has Billiken goods and many other souvenirs unique to Osaka, so be sure to check them out.

Janjan Yokocho has been the setting for movies and TV dramas, and there is a famous manga depicting the townscape called ``Jarinko Chie''. As soon as you step inside, you'll find Shinsekai's famous kushikatsu restaurant, a retro shogi hall reminiscent of the early Showa era, and a smart ball shop. The recommendation of Janjan Yokocho is definitely Osaka's specialty, Kushikatsu! The arcade, which stretches approximately 180 meters from north to south, is lined with countless stores. No matter which restaurant you go into, you can enjoy freshly made piping hot kushikatsu in a lively atmosphere. The bite-sized skewers are so easy to eat that you can't help but eat them. Also, although it varies by store, many are closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so be sure to check before heading out.

It was built in 1952 as a Southern European-style pure cafe called ``Reunion,'' and in December 2006, it was registered as a ``Registered Tangible Cultural Property,'' along with Tsutenkaku. Currently, it is not open as a coffee shop, and you can only enter during the jazz concert that is held once a month.
