An art museum that has stood in Tennoji Park for 90 years
This historic art museum has a wide range of collections, mainly focusing on Oriental art. You can also see Keitakuen Garden from the terrace inside the museum.

Reopening on March 1, 2025, Keitakuen Garden (a designated cultural property of Osaka City) is a purely Japanese-style strolling garden with a forest and springs located within Tennoji Park. The garden features a large pond with a white stone beach in the foreground, an island with a black pine tree in the middle, and scattered rock islands, reminiscent of the ocean. Enjoy the elaborate garden from various angles as you stroll around the garden, taking in the scenery, the artificial hill to the northeast, the large waterfall at its foot, and the gazebo.

The setting of Sonezaki Shinju
Founded over 1,300 years ago, Tsuyuten Shrine is the main shrine of Umeda and is associated with Sugawara no Michizane. It is affectionately known as "Ohatsutenjin" as it was the setting for Chikamatsu Monzaemon's "Sonezaki Shinju," and even today it is visited by people praying for the fulfillment of their love.

Osaka Tenmangu Shrine, dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane, the god of learning, is a shrine representing Osaka, a city steeped in history and culture.

Since its opening in 2006, this has been a staple venue for Kamigata Rakugo, where you can enjoy laughter-filled performances every day.

The Osaka Museum of Living Then and Now is located inside the Osaka Municipal Housing Information Center Building, facing Tenjinbashisuji Shopping Street in Tenjinbashi 6-chome, Kita Ward. It is a housing museum where you can experience the changes in Osaka towns and homes from the Edo period through the Meiji, Taisho, and Showa periods. The biggest highlights are the meticulously researched reconstruction of Osaka's townscape from the late Edo period, around the Tenpo era (1830-1844), and the device that changes the town's appearance with the passage of time, morning, noon, and night, using sound and light. There are also exhibitions that change with the seasons.

This Western-style building was modeled after the National Bank of Belgium and other buildings. Even now, more than 100 years later, it still exudes dignity along Midosuji. By making a reservation, you can tour the interior of the old building and the sales office in the new building.
