The Hep Five Ferris Wheel has become a major landmark in Umeda, Osaka, and is located so close to Hotel Kinki, you almost have to include it on your list of things to do!
To access the Ferris wheel, you’ll need to enter the Hep Five building. The entrance of this shopping complex is located on the far side when approaching from Hotel Kinki. (The entrance directly faces Hankyu Umeda Station.) Take the elevator to the top floor to board the Ferris wheel.
Admission is 500 yen per person, and each pod can fit four people.
The ride takes around 15 minutes and will give you an excellent look at downtown Umeda. But if you’re scared of heights, you might want to sit this one out, as you’ll definitely feel a bit exposed (and vulnerable!) hanging some 100 meters above the city streets.
