The Ferris wheel Kururin has a diameter of 45 meters, and from the ground to its highest point spans 85 meters. It has also become a new iconic symbol of Matsuyama.

During the day, Kururin offers a view over Matsuyama City, including the hot spring inns at Dogo Onsen, the Iyo-nada Sea, and Matsuyama Castle standing tall in the center of the city. You can also enjoy the illuminations held at night, looking out over the night view of the city from the Ferris wheel.

The “see-through gondola,” the floor of which is made of transparent glass to give a feeling of floating through the air, is also very popular.
Be sure not to miss the Ferris wheel’s special free rides for specific people, such as those having their birthday month or overseas visitors with their passports. (※See-through gondola is not subject to free ride offers)
