The Osaka Wheel is the tallest Ferris wheel in Japan, and this spring visitors can enjoy a unique experience here to welcome the season. From early March until the end of June, the iconic 123-meter Ferris wheel will be adorned with artificial cherry blossoms for the Sakura Ferris Wheel event, quite literally bringing the beauty of spring to new heights.
Riders can take in some stunning views of Osaka and the surrounding cherry blossoms from above, making for an unforgettable experience. The event also introduces a special menu featuring spring-inspired treats, including cherry blossom-flavored drinks and sweets. Be sure to snap a photo at the dedicated photo spot before you hop aboard!
In addition to the floral fun inside the cabins, the Ferris wheel will be illuminated in pink after dark, creating a fun, romantic atmosphere.
