Bought the aquarium and Ferris wheel combo ticket, just to say I'd ridden the biggest Ferris wheel in the world (?). Wasn't the best day for it, couldn't see much at all, but if it were clearer you'd get a sweeping panorama of the area, and of course there's all the romance of a traditional Ferris wheel.

This leisurely ferris wheel gave us great views over the city despite the rain. The cars felt very stable and safe. We picked out our lunch spot from high above the city based on the aerial views!

Tip: buy the Osaka unlimited pass and the ride is free Unfortunately it was raining and cloudy when we rode this, so really not much view...

Planned to go on the Ferris Wheel which was quoted as being the biggest in the world but it was a windy day and it wasn't operating. My recommendation would be to check the weather before you leave otherwise you might be disappointed.

We visited the Kaiyukan (Aquarium) next door and was attracted to do the ride because it seemed like a pretty big Ferris wheel. Maybe not as big as the London's Eye or the Singapore Flyers but the conventional cabins with windows that can be open made it a thrill. Didn't really needed to queue on a Sunday early afternoon except... More

great view and its filled with many other nearby attractions such a museum, qaquarium, theatre and mall. Make it a whole day outing in Tempozan area. Mt. Tempozan is actually the smallest mountains in Japan.

This Ferris Wheel is meant to be the biggest in the world ?!? Don't quote me because they said 'may be' in their information. However, the ride was pleasant because it gives such a nice view of the coastline and it's informative in terms of a historical information session of Osaka. Purchase the ride along with the Santa Maria Cruise.... More

The 7$ to get on board is in my opinion not worth the ride - while it is nice to see the city from above you really should choose prefer the umeda sky building to get more time and better look
