Sightseeing from Your Tennoji Hotel

Visitors also come to Tennoji for the Shitennoji Temple, which was first established in the 6th century, making it one of the oldest temples in Japan. The gardens are a beautiful haven, especially in spring when the cherry blossom is blooming.

For a completely different taste of Japanese culture, head to the Shinsekai neighbourhood. Originally developed in the early 20th century, Shinsekai’s bustling streets and restaurants are quite a gritty nostalgia trip compared to Osaka’s ultra-modern malls. Take the chance to try kushikatsu, one of Osaka’s speciality dishes, and snap a shot of the Eiffel-esque Tsutenkaku Tower.
