About

Tower of the Sun

The location you've mentioned corresponds to the Tower of the Sun (太陽の塔, Taiyō no Tō), an iconic structure situated in the Expo Commemoration Park in Suita City, Osaka Prefecture, Japan. Designed by artist Tarō Okamoto, the tower was constructed for the 1970 Japan World Exposition (Expo '70) and stands approximately 70 meters tall. It features three distinct faces: the "Golden Face" at the top representing the future, the "Sun Face" on the front symbolizing the present, and the "Black Sun" on the back denoting the past. The tower's interior houses the "Tree of Life," a 41-meter-high artwork depicting the evolution of life. After being closed for several decades, the interior was reopened to the public in March 2018.
