The Tempozan Ferris Wheel is an iconic landmark situated in the bustling port area of Osaka, Japan. Towering at an impressive height of 112.5 meters, it promises visitors a spectacular vantage point to take in the beauty of Osaka from above. As you ascend in one of the 60 spacious cabins, you can relish the panoramic views of the city’s skyline, the shimmering Osaka Bay, and on clear days, even the distant mountains. The experience of gliding gently upwards offers a moment of tranquility amidst the lively urban landscape. Operating from 10 AM to 10 PM on weekends and holidays, and until 9 PM on weekdays, the Ferris wheel provides a perfect backdrop for both daytime sightseeing and evening illuminations. The contrast of the setting sun painting the sky and the twinkling city lights below creates a mesmerizing visual feast. Each rotation lasts approximately 15 minutes, allowing ample time to snap stunning photographs or simply soak in the breathtaking scenery. Beyond the Ferris wheel itself, the area around Tempozan is a hub of activity. Visitors can explore the lively Tempozan Marketplace, which features an array of shops, restaurants, and attractions, including the Osaka Aquarium, one of the largest in the world. This makes it an ideal day out for families and tourists alike.
