Originally constructed as part of the city’s push to invigorate tourism, the Ferris wheel serves as a symbol of Osaka's balance between tradition and innovation.

The Ferris wheel's metallic frame reflects sunlight during the day and transforms into a dazzling spectacle of lights at night, drawing visitors from across the globe. Each gondola is meticulously designed for comfort, featuring panoramic windows that allow riders to immerse themselves in the views, whether it’s the shimmering waters below or the bustling city streets. The wheel’s impressive height, combined with cutting-edge technology, ensures a smooth and stable ride, even on windy days.
