What other travelers are saying about Tempozan Ferris Wheel
Located right next to the Osaka Aquarium, this is a very cool experience if you have the time to spare and aren't too afraid of heights. The ride itself is about 15 minutes long and gives you a phenomenal view of the port, the Tempozan Bridge, and Osaka skyline. At night, the wheel is lighted and simply magnificent. Recommended!
Me and my friend visited this huge Ferris wheel close to midnight, just before its closing time. There was no crowd, which was nice! The ride itself was super clean and spacious, and the glass floor added a cool touch since it’s see-through, giving you an exciting view of the ground below. The whole ride took around 10-15 minutes (I couldn’t quite remember), but it felt like a good amount of time to take in the views.
The prices were affordable and very reasonable, making it a great option for a fun night activity. It’s located near the sea, so you get an incredible sea view and the stunning Osaka skyline as you go up. If you’re looking for Instagram-worthy spots, this place is perfect for capturing photos with the skyline and the Ferris wheel at night. Definitely a great experience and a must-do if you’re in Osaka!
An unexpected delight.
We hadn't planned on visiting the Ferris Wheel but decided to do so as the crowds were quiet. It was a good duration- not too long and not too short (abt 15 mins in total). You got a great view of the Harbour area and of the aquarium.
The Tempozan Ferris Wheel offers a nice view, and the whole ride lasts about 15 minutes for one complete round. While the experience was pleasant, I couldn’t help but feel that one round wasn’t enough for the 900 yen price. It would have been great if they allowed two rounds instead of just one, which would make the ride feel more worth the cost. Still, it’s a fun experience if you’re in the area and looking for some scenic views of Osaka.
Some really phenomenal views of Osaka. There was no wait for the standard line. I didn't feel like I was missing much from the see through capsule. This was a perfect night time activity for anyone who doesn't care for bars. The price was inexpensive for 1 or 2 people. Might be steep for a family. Kids do ride free at the time of writing this but not sure what the cut off age is.
