Traveler reviews
Tempozan Market Place made for a fun stop, especially with the aquarium nearby. I also tried okonomiyaki there for the first time, which was a nice bonus during the visit. The ferris wheel was a standout for me and added to the whole experience. It feels like an easy place to spend a relaxed weekend, especially if you're out with children.
This was where we alighted from the bus we took from Osakako Station. The mall is big and is connected to the giant ferris wheel. It has a lot of food stalls and restaurants where you can relax after visiting the Osaka Kaiyukan. It also has souvenir shops and a Lego land within the mall. We had lunch there before going to the aquarium and had coffee and some snacks after.
Good place for shopping and tasty food.
Located right next to the Osaka Aquarium, and ferris wheel is easily accessible from the market itself.
This market place is next to the Ferris wheel. It consisted of stores entertainment and restaurants. They have a Legoland inside (I didn’t go in).
There are mostly home goods and clothes. There's a section of petting zoo (really unexpected). Giant rabbits and hamsters are running around inside and you can feed them. Very clean and no smell at all.
Price is reasonable. No high end products here. People are very very nice. Bathroom is clean. The whole mall is super clean. I highly recommend as a tourist spot as well after the Ferris Wheel.
For me, the mall was very comfortable and relaxing. There is also a prayer room with an ablution area where Muslims can pray!! The view of the sea is also beautiful!!
