Tennoji Station & Osaka Abenobashi 天王寺駅・大阪阿部野橋駅
The southern super-hub at the foot of Abeno Harukas: JR, subway and Kintetsu (to Nara and Yoshino) converge beneath Japan's second-tallest skyscraper.
About
Tennoji is where JRs Loop Line and Haruka trains meet two subway lines, the Hankai tram and, across the street at Osaka Abenobashi, the Kintetsu Minami-Osaka Line toward Yoshino and Asuka. Above Kintetsu's terminal rises the 300 m Abeno Harukas, and the Kintetsu department store fills its lower floors. The area links to Tennoji Park, the zoo, Shitennoji and the old-school Shinsekai district within walking distance.
