If you’re in the Osaka Bay area, you are very likely visiting the aquarium or Universal Studios. But if you’re around the aquarium with an extra 15 minutes to spare, consider a ride on the Tempozan Ferris Wheel.

A ride on the Ferris wheel does cost JPY800 per person, which is rather steep for about 15 minutes. Still, it’s not too bad if you can spare the cash, and if you’re going at night the views are particularly lovely. Fantastic if you’re on a romantic date out.
