What other travelers are saying about Tempozan Ferris Wheel
Riding the Tempozan Ferris Wheel was an incredible experience. Located near Osaka’s bay area, the Ferris wheel offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city, Osaka Bay, and on clear days, even Mount Ikoma and Akashi Kaikyō Bridge in the distance.
The ride is smooth and relaxing, and the cabins are spacious and well-maintained, making it comfortable for families, couples, and solo travelers alike. I especially enjoyed seeing the city lights sparkle in the evening — it was truly magical.
The area around the Ferris wheel, including Tempozan Marketplace and Tempozan Park, adds to the fun, making it easy to spend a few hours exploring before or after the ride.
This is my second ferris wheel ride in Osaka after the Hep five in Umeda. The entrance area is much easier to find, feel more relaxed and less stressful than Hep Five. And I could say I like Tempozan much more. The scenary is great and the view have great balance between shore and the cities. The duration is also perfect. Not too long and not too short, it end exactly when I want it to end.
The ticket price is okay I think it's a good way to pass time if you're waiting for your entry to the Kaiyukan Aquarium or Santa Maria cruise as these three location is very close to each other.
Really enjoyed this little excursion. Used the Osaka Amazing Pass as tickets , queue was empty, chose the transparent carriage. The whole thing took 15mins and it was nice to see the shine. Can also see universal studios in the distance. Highly recommend it
World Giant Ferris Wheel which cost ¥900 for Adult. The Ferris Wheel is most spectacular when looking from outside and far with the beautiful lights. Best to ride at night so you can enjoy the view better.
I personally think the Tempozan Ferris Wheel is a great place for couples to experience together! 🎡
The adult ticket costs only 900 yen, which is quite affordable, and one full rotation takes about 15 minutes.
I recommend going around 4 p.m. or closer to sunset — if the weather is good, you might get to see a beautiful sunset!
Inside the cabin, you’ll have your own private space, so you can even play some music to set the perfect mood.
It’s especially nice to visit after exploring the aquarium — just time it right and enjoy the ride!
