Introducing sightseeing spots at the Miyako City Tennoji Station hotel, directly connected to Osaka Tennoji Station: "Let's have fun at Osaka Port!"

Japan's lowest mountain

The "lowest mountain in Japan" located within Tenpozan Park
Mount Tenpo, said to be the lowest mountain in Japan, has an elevation of only 4.53 meters. Despite being such a low mountain, the presence of a triangulation point, which is a standard for surveying, proves that Mount Tenpo is indeed a mountain.
While I've introduced Mount Tenpozan as the lowest mountain in Japan, as of the end of 2014, it is actually the second lowest mountain in Japan according to maps of the country.

Tenpozan Marketplace

Located next to the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan, this is a large shopping mall with restaurants, shops, and amusement facilities.

SEA SAW

It's a drink stand where you can enjoy food and drinks, and the "Whale Shark Soft Serve" looked and tasted intriguing.
This mixed soft-serve ice cream, inspired by the colors and patterns of a whale shark, is not only visually appealing with its mix of ramune (blue) and vanilla (white) flavors, but also incredibly delicious with its refreshing and sweet taste.

Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan

Kaiyukan Aquarium is known for its giant tank recreating the Pacific Ocean where whale sharks Kai-kun (male) and Yu-chan (female) swim leisurely, as well as a tunnel-shaped tank filled with tropical fish, an Antarctic continent with penguins, and a fantastical jellyfish corner, offering a variety of attractions to enjoy.
In the new Arctic Circle area, visitors can enjoy observing the lives of three unique Amon seals, which is another popular attraction.
And one of the highlights of the event is the "feeding time" for the animals.
The "Night Sea," which is romantically enhanced with light and sound after 5 PM, is also very appealing.
