  Tempozan Giant Ferris Wheel

  4.7/5

  476 Reviews

  

  Osaka

  7.7km from downtown

  

  "Came on June 6, 2013. The Tianbaoshan Ferris wheel was once the largest and most advanced Ferris wheel in the world. Since you are coming to Osaka, you will come and see it. Take the subway central line to "Osaka Port" and walk a few steps. Take a circle Ferris wheel for about 20 minutes. The Ferris wheel is on the edge of the harbor, and it is in broad daylight when it comes, so there is nothing to look at. When you arrive at the highest point of the Ferris wheel, the scenery you see is more general, and the view may be better at night."

  Highlights: Located next to Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan, the Tempozan Giant Ferris Wheel features a spectacular "skyrocket fireworks" lighting effect at night, in which the Ferris wheel is colorfully lit with beautiful patterns. These lights also act as a real-time weather forecast for the next day's weather. At the visitors can look over the busy Osaka Port and gaze far into the distance to Kansai International Airport in the south and Akashi Kaikyo Bridge in the west.

  Kuromon Ichiba Market

  4.5/5

  352 Reviews

  

  Osaka

  3.2km from downtown

  

  "There are many foreigners who visit sightseeing and the clerk at the store. However, recently, the number of shops that even Japanese people can enjoy is increasing. Please visit on a trip."

  Highlights: Kuromon Market, also known as Osaka's kitchen, is a lively market where local people go to buy fruit and vegetables. Because of the cheap prices of food and goods here, the market has attracted a number of visitors. The specialty pufferfish restaurant, with its seemingly simple storefront full of freshly caught seafood and sashimi, or the luxurious Kobe beef, are also some of the great attractions of this market.
