This guide not only shows you the cinematic experience of visiting the Dai Heiwa Tō (The Great Peace Tower), but also gives you the exact instructions on how to get there. 📍 HOW TO GET THERE (A Step-by-Step Guide from Central Osaka): Step 1: The Train 🚆 Make your way to Osaka-Abenobashi Station (it's right next to Tennoji Station). From there, take the Kintetsu Nagano Line Semi-Express train, usually bound for Kawachi-Nagano. Step 2: The Destination Station Get off at Tondabayashi Station (富田林駅). The train journey takes about 30 minutes and is a peaceful ride out of the city's hustle. Step 3: The Bus 🚌 Exit Tondabayashi Station and find the bus terminal. Take the Kongo Bus from platform #1. You are looking for the bus that goes towards the PL Holy Land (PLの聖地). Step 4: The Final Stop Get off at the "PL no Tō" (PLの塔) bus stop. The tower will be right in front of you! 🎥 WHAT TO EXPECT (The Journey in This Video): This silent, cinematic vlog captures the entire journey: the quiet train and bus ride, the peaceful walk as this bizarre and beautiful structure slowly comes into view, and an exploration of the tower's unique architecture from both the outside and inside.
