Osaka Day 3: Tempozan Ferris Wheel

We also got on the giant ferris wheel called Tempozan which was almost the highlight of the trip. It literally is the largest in size in Asia and second to London Eye in the world. You can have the panoramic view of the sea as it's right by the strait shore, the mountains, and the whole city. They only offer 2 transparent passenger cars so we took the time to claim it! It was set up very cleverly with transparent stickers to help you understand and give guidance to different buildings and part of the city. 

Open Hours: 10 AM - 10 PM (Ticket sales until 9:30 PM) 

Transportation: 5 minute walk from Osakako Station (Chuo Subway Line) 

Admission Fee: JPY700 

Address: 〒552-0022 1-1-10 Kaigandori Minato-ku, Osaka City

Osaka Day 1: Dotombori

I wanted to share some photos from my last trip to Osaka. Being a third largest / second most important city of the country, there are beautiful historical sites as well as more modern and vibrant new quarters.

This trip happened rather spontaneously while I was travelling in South Korea. The weekend getaway was perfect with great food and lots of shopping around Dotombori on the first day. Osaka-Jo, bit of Kita for Umeda Sky Garden, and other Minami areas including Amerika-mura the second day. and Tempozan Ferris wheel the third day.

Due to the abundance of photos, I divided my posts to 3 parts based on my itinerary above. Enjoy! :-)
