Tennoji Zoo.
Give the zoo its own stop rather than counting it as a walk through Tennoji Park. Check the entrance and animal-area schedule before visiting, and leave enough time to explore the grounds. The Shinsekai and Tenshiba sides connect naturally with nearby city walks.
The story behind this place
Osaka opened Tennoji Zoo on 1 January 1915. It became part of the city’s growing network of public places for recreation and learning. A visit here also connects with the history of Tennoji Park, rather than a separate theme-park development.
