Dotonbori Giant Ferris Wheel Ebisu Tower
A giant Ferris wheel attached to the large discount store “Don Quijote” Dotonbori store along the Dotonbori River, one of the liveliest spots in Osaka’s Minami area, where buildings with flashy signs line both banks. Facing the river, this striking Ferris wheel is the world’s first oval shape, unlike typical circular wheels. Its four-person gondolas also feature a unique mechanism that rotates horizontally mid-ride-the first of its kind in the world.
This Ferris wheel is seriously so cool! It’s built right onto the outside of the building, and you get to look out over Dotonbori while you ride.
The night view is next-level. -
JUNGLIA OKINAWA
JUNGLIA OKINAWA is the larger-than-life theme park where you’re in for extraordinary encounters set in the verdant backwoods of Yanbaru in northern Okinawa. The park’s concept, “Power Vacance!!”, invites guests int2o immersive encounters surrounded by Yanbaru’s vibrant forests and one-of-a-kind attractions.
There are a lot of spots with no shade, so you're really exposed to the sun. It gets insanely hot around noon.

Kinkaku-ji
During the Muromachi Period, the 3rd Ashikaga shogun, Yoshimitsu, made an abode in this temple called Kitayamadono. It was named as Rokuon-ji after the posthumous name of Yoshimitsu. He had also built Shokoku-ji Temple, and Rokuon-ji, his retirement home, was turned into a branch temple of Shokoku-ji.
The admission ticket looks just like a lucky charm! Our tour guide even told us to take it home and put it by our bed for good luck. 🤣
