HEP FIVE Ferris Wheel
A Ferris wheel installed on the rooftop of HEP FIVE in the heart of Umeda. It boasts a scale of Approx. 106 m above ground and 75 m in diameter. Another draw is its excellent access, within a 5-minute walk from Hankyu Osaka-Umeda Station and JR Osaka Station. Board from the 7th floor of HEP FIVE, and in just a few minutes, a sweeping panoramic view of Osaka spreads out right before you!
Right in the middle of the busy area—the big red Ferris wheel is super eye-catching and sooo photogenic!
Riding a Ferris wheel on top of a department store feels really unique. As you go around, you get an amazing view of Osaka’s cityscape.
Going at night is super romantic—the night view is beautiful.
The cabin has A/C, so it doesn’t get too hot even in summer.
One loop is about 15 minutes, so it’s not too long.
Perfect for couples or friends to check in and take pics—photos turn out great.
If you’re scared of heights you might feel a little shaky, but overall I totally recommend trying it!
