Tempozan Ferris Wheel

The number one attraction of the Tempozan Ferris Wheel is undoubtedly the view from the gondola! The highest point of the Tempozan Ferris Wheel is 112.5m, making it one of the largest in the world. From inside the gondola, you can enjoy views of Osaka and even see Kansai International Airport. Not only Osaka, but also Mt. Ikoma and the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge can be seen, making it an attractive point to enjoy the superb scenery! While riding the Ferris wheel, Japanese and English guide audio is played, so why not enjoy a stroll in the sky while listening?

The Tempozan Ferris Wheel is made up of 8 transparent gondolas out of a total of 60. The transparent gondolas are a major attraction because not only are the front, back, left, and right sides transparent, but the seats and footrests are as well, allowing you to enjoy the view from anywhere! You can not only overlook the scenery of Osaka, but also look down, giving you the feeling of walking through the sky. It's also great that you can ride the transparent gondola for the same price as a regular one! Please note that the boarding point for the transparent gondola is on the 3rd floor, so be careful not to get confused.

If you're going to ride the Tempozan Ferris Wheel, we recommend doing it at night! It's the perfect spot to enjoy the shining night view of Osaka city.

One of the highlights of the Tempozan Ferris Wheel is its colorful night illumination! Since 2015, LED lighting has been introduced, making the Ferris wheel light up in various colors at night. Not only does it decorate the Ferris wheel, but it also displays the weather forecast for the next day with a sunny or rainy mark. After enjoying the night view from the sky, why not also enjoy the Ferris wheel's illumination from the ground?
