Tempozan Giant Ferris Wheel

The Tempozan Giant Ferris Wheel provides the best panoramic city views in Osaka thanks to its 112-metre height overlooking Osaka Bay and Kyoto's mountains. Tickets are 800 JPY per adult and 400 JPY for children, making it 40% cheaper than riding the similar 85-metre HEP Five Ferris Wheel in Umeda. Four specially designated transparent gondolas in the rotating fleet offer a glass-floor experience that rivals thrill rides at Universal Studios Japan, at a fraction of the cost. The wheel's illumination with seasonal colour themes at night makes it a popular photo spot, and its location next to Kaiyukan Aquarium creates a natural two-attraction itinerary.
