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.
Tempozan ferris wheel is one of the largest ferries wheels in Japan. Short walk from Osaka Aquarium. It offers awesome panaromic views of Osaka city and the bay. Go during sunset for the most beautiful scenery. We went into the standard cabin as the see-through cabin was scary, and the standard cabin also had a shorter queue.
There can be a wait time of 10mins if you choose to take the see-through cart. They maintain high safety standards.
Can get a pretty neat glimpse of the osaka aquarium area and the port area and many other places. Would recommend.
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.

The views from the top were beautiful, especially overlooking the bay and city. It’s a simple attraction, but I genuinely enjoyed it more than I expected.
