It is so high - on top of a big building! Not as bad as I thought and I'm so glad I did it. I was a bit breezy outside but the pods were very sturdy! View is amazing!

Don't go if you suffer from vertigo or if its windy! That said, it provides for 15 min of great views and screaming! Be sure to visit the 100Yeng store next door that offers a huge range of products all for just 100Yeng! Some goodies makes great gifts

I went to the aquarium, but decided to have a go on this first..it's only 700 yen, and there was no queue, I had a cabin to myself. You get great views across to the main city, of the impressive bridges and road systems around the bay area. If it's not too hazy, you will also see the mountains in... More

Though it is extremely windy outside, inside the cable car, it is stable. The view of the port, kaiyukan aquarium was very spectacular.

You'll be able to see quite far (because its so massive), and its worth a visit after dark to see it lit up.

After you have rode the Singapore Flyer, Tempozan is not exciting anymore.

Got it for free from the Osaka unlimited pass, so after doing the Aquarium we head to this place just to use the free coupon.

We travelled to the Aquarium at Tempozan and purchased a joint ticket for the Ferris Wheel as well. This ferris wheel was once the largest in the world, now overtaken by the "London Eye". The view of the Harbour and surrounds was amazing and we enjoyed the ride. I have ridden on so many ferris wheels is Japan that I... More

The view was fantastic. And the Ferris Wheel was not crowded with super-long queue lines. Staff even gave my children a balloon each upon finishing the ride which really made their day. It was not expensive too - JNY700 per adult, free for children under 3. Our only grouse was the very expensive photograph taken by their staff (and offered... More
