Photos of Mount Tenpō

Tempozan is located in the port area in the west of Osaka City. It is a small hill only 4.5 meters high on the south bank of the Anji River estuary. It is an artificial hill built up by the sand and soil excavated when the government dredged the Anji River in the early 19th century. Today Tempozan has become a part of Tempozan Park, and the famous Tempozan Ferris Wheel is on its southwest side.
