Tempozan Ferris Wheel (天保山大観覧車) – Best Views of Osaka Bay

Tempozan Ferris Wheel is one of the best spots for a breathtaking view of Osaka’s waterfront. Standing at 112 meters tall, it offers stunning panoramic views of Osaka Bay, Universal Studios Japan, and even Kobe on clear days. The ride is smooth and lasts about 15 minutes, giving you plenty of time to soak in the scenery. For thrill-seekers, there are a few transparent glass-bottom gondolas, which add an extra level of excitement! Visiting at night is a fantastic experience, as the wheel itself lights up with colorful LED displays. Since it’s located next to the Osaka Aquarium, it’s easy to include in your itinerary. Whether you’re on a romantic date or a family trip, this Ferris wheel is a great way to enjoy Osaka from above.
