Last update :

With a height of 112.5 meters and a diameter of 100 meters, this is one of the world's largest Ferris wheels, lasting about 15 minutes per lap. On a clear day you can see as far as Mount Ikoma in Nara Prefecture to the east, the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge in Hyogo Prefecture to the west, Kansai International Airport to the south, and Mount Rokko in Hyogo Prefecture to the north. While you are here in Osaka, you can feel as if you are taking a round trip around the Kansai area. While boarding, audio guides of the scenery in both English and Japanese are played in the cabins.

Of the 60 cabins, three are accessible for wheelchair users. In addition, eight of the cabins are "see-through gondolas," which are transparent from the feet to the ceiling, allowing you to experience the sensation of floating, perfect for testing your mettle!

At night, the Ferris wheel is illuminated with the world's first illumination technique for a Ferris wheel, which was selected for the Good Design Award in 2015, using LED lights to create large firework patterns, a giant kaleidoscope of colors, and an animated weather forecast for the next day. This is a must-see spot for making memories, as you can enjoy a romantic walk in the air.

Right next to the spot is Kaiyukan, one of the world's largest aquariums, Tempozan Marketplace, which includes shopping and a food court, and Starbucks Coffee. Let's take a look around here and there while boarding.

    天保山大摩天輪的車廂,因透明車廂數量比較少,若要搭車廂座椅和地板都是透明的透明車廂,
    需要等更久,其實搭一般車廂可以不用等待直接搭乘,且其實都可以看到外面風景, 其實沒什麼差別!

  • 大阪灣岸一帶真的很好逛,又有摩天輪還有USJ和海遊館,一天根本玩不夠喲~🦉

    風景一般般,夜間來的感受度會比白天更好。

    在纜車上面看夜景感覺很棒,建議坐透明的纜車,可以欣賞風景。

    附近還有像是海遊館、⼤阪樂⾼樂園、及觀光帆船等,很適合安排一日遊行程。
