    "The all-red Ferris wheel is super suitable for taking pictures and taking the subway to Umeda. Follow the signs and go directly to the underground elevator of the mall. You can see the Ferris wheel on the 7th floor by taking the elevator! You can buy it and you can use it. You can find the staff at the entrance to scan the QR code to play! Very convenient, and cheaper than buying on-site tickets is 600"

    "Built in 2005, the Ferris wheel of the God of Wealth stands on the north bank of Dotonbori and the south facade of the Don Quixote Dotonbori store building; with its unique shape, bright colors and joy, it has become the landmark of Dotonbori and the landmark of Osaka. In the center of the tall Ferris wheel, there is a 17-meter high and 15-meter wide statue. The handbag and smile look like the god of wealth in China; and the salmon indicates that it is the god of commerce in Japan/God of wealth-Ebisu; The right hand holding is the mascot of the Don Quixote chain brand "Penguin Jun". The real name of the Ferris wheel : Ebisu Tower( Huibishou Iron Tower); for the above reasons, there is a nickname that Chinese tourists like: the Ferris wheel. The Ferris wheel is 77 meters high, and the U-shaped running track is different from the traditional circle; there are 32 hanging baskets for 4 people and 1 row. About 12 minutes of running time, sitting south, feet - clear Doton - sparkling, before you - the surrounding scenery is unobstructed, and there is no charm."

    "I came to Osaka 10 years ago and took the Santa Maria with a travel coupon. It felt great! I bought a package ticket with the Sea Tour Hall 10 years later and sat once. I don't know if my eyes are high or the weather is not good that day. Osaka Port is not so beautiful on cloudy days, and it is a bit boring to take a long time to take a boat in the open air. There are also restaurants and toilets in the boat to meet the needs of the people on board."
