Tempozan Ferris Wheel

天保山大観覧車

Tempozan, Osaka · 大阪

A 112-metre wheel on Osaka Bay, lit at night in a colour that announces the next day’s forecast — red for clear, green for cloudy, blue for rain.

Why it’s worth it

From the top you get the bay, Kobe across the water and the mountains behind. Ride it, then take the ferry across to the aquarium side.
