Enjoying the city skyline from an elevated position can give a sense of magic and excitement. In Osaka there are so many ways to enjoy the city from above—two of which are from Tempozan and Umeda.

Despite its location that is off the city center, Tempozan Ferris Wheel never short of fans. Getting on the ride in the morning offers a clear view of the nearby harbor area and the city’s concrete jungle in the distance. Before dark, head to Umeda for a ride on HEP Five. This time, as the ride is located in the heart of Osaka, a closer look to the city’s skyscraper covered in twinkling lights is the main attraction.
