When visiting Matsuyama in Ehime Prefecture, don't miss the KURURIN Ferris wheel on the 9th floor of the Iyotetsu Takashimaya department store! Although the Ferris wheel isn't very large, you can enjoy views of downtown Matsuyama from above. There are also very popular transparent gondolas where you can experience the feeling of floating in the air. If you enjoy taking photos, don't miss it!
Foreign visitors can show their passports to get a discounted fare of 500 JPY per person, which is quite affordable! The gondolas are compact and can seat 2 people on each side, making them ideal for two people to enjoy the view together.
I especially recommend riding around sunset! Through the large glass windows, you can watch the sun set and the sky slowly change from daytime to dusk, followed by the lights of downtown Matsuyama gradually coming on. You can enjoy both the sunset and the enchanting night view in one ride, which is really romantic.
After browsing the department store, consider coming up for a ride on the Ferris wheel. You can experience Matsuyama's cityscape from a different perspective and leave with wonderful memories of your trip!
This landmark Ferris wheel is located on the ninth-floor rooftop of the Iyotetsu Takashimaya department store in Matsuyama, with its highest point about 85 meters above the ground. It offers 360-degree views of the Ehime cityscape, Matsuyama Castle, and the Seto Inland Sea. At night, colorful lights illuminate the sky, creating a romantic and enchanting atmosphere.
The Ferris wheel takes about 15 minutes for one full rotation. You get a 360-degree view of Matsuyama city and can even see the Seto Inland Sea.
