• Shinsekai is a district in Osaka where the district's center stands Tsutenkaku Tower, the nostalgia-evoking symbol of Shinsekai. The current tower is 103 meters high, with the main observatory at a height of 91 meters. A new open-air deck on top of the main observatory was opened in late 2015. TAnother noted attraction that should not be missed is kushikatsu, one of Osaka's best gourmet. It is a dish, composed of various skewered, battered and deep fried foods. Varieties on offer range from chicken and beef, to vegetables such as pumpkin and asparagus, to the banana and ice cream dessert varieties. Surprisingly, Many of Shinsekai's kushikatsu restaurants are open 24 hours.
