Tempozan Ferris Wheel

, Osaka, Osaka

Description

Tempozan Ferris Wheel provides riders with views of Osaka Bay during a ~15mins ride. When it opened in 1997, the 100m-diameter structure was the tallest Ferris wheel in the world. Interestingly, it is colour-coded to reflect weather forecast for the next day: green for cloudy, orange for sunny, and blue for rain.

Access & Transport

The attraction is in the western side of the city, 6km from Namba station. It is an easy 5mins walk from the Osakako metro station (Chuo line)

Instructions & Recommendations

It can be windy at the top so you may want to have a sweater / jacket with you. We suggest combining this attraction with a visit of the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan, in the same development.

Meta review

Often featured in travel magazines, the Ferris wheel is quite popular with domestic and international tourists, which creates some queues but those move fast. The ride itself is described as short and the views average during the day and good, though not exceptional, at night.

Environmental & Social

Quite energy intensive on a per person basis. LED lights are used

Conclusion

If you have never been on a Ferris Wheel then this is a good option. Otherwise there is nothing really incredible about it and we feel the best experience might just be to look at it: the LED display is quite striking.

Key negative
