About Redhorse Osaka Wheel
Soar above Osaka on the Redhorse Osaka Wheel, one of the world's tallest Ferris wheels, located in the vibrant EXPOCITY. With fully transparent cabins and glass floors, you will experience the thrilling sensation of floating 123 meters above the ground while enjoying breathtaking 360-degree views of the city skyline and the iconic Tower of the Sun.
Local Legends & Stories
The wheel stands in the historic Expo 70 Commemorative Park, a site that symbolizes Japan's post-war economic miracle and its embrace of future technology. Locals often view the iconic Tower of the Sun, visible from the wheel's peak, as a spiritual guardian of Osaka's progress and resilience.
Must Do Experiences

Ride in a fully transparent gondola to experience the thrilling sensation of walking on air high above Osaka.
-
Capture stunning aerial photographs of the iconic Tower of the Sun and the sprawling Umeda skyscraper district.
-
Enjoy a relaxing 18-minute rotation that offers a slow, uninterrupted sightseeing experience of the Kansai region.
Hidden Gems
-
Look out for the distant Mount Rokko and the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge on exceptionally clear days from the peak of the wheel.
-
Visit the adjacent Nifrel interactive aquarium or the Pokemon Center EXPOCITY right after your ride to make a full day of family entertainment.
-
Notice the intricate LED lighting system on the wheel's exterior, which transforms the structure into a glowing masterpiece after sunset.
What Makes it Special
-
The cutting-edge transparent floors and glass-walled cabins provide an unobstructed, adrenaline-pumping view straight down to the ground.
-
Its strategic location in Expo 70 Commemorative Park allows for unique, unobstructed vistas of the historic Tower of the Sun that you cannot get anywhere else in the city.

Available Facilities
Perfect Timing
When to visit for the best experience
Late afternoon is the ideal time to ride, allowing you to witness the spectacular transition from golden hour sunlight to the glittering night lights of Osaka. Weekday mornings right after the 11:00 AM opening offer the shortest queues and the most peaceful experience. Autumn and winter provide the clearest skies, maximizing your chances of seeing distant mountains and the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge.
Photography Guide
Capture the perfect shots
-
Position your camera lens directly against the glass to eliminate glare and reflections when shooting through the cabin windows.
-
Capture the transparent floor effect by having your travel companions stand near the center while you shoot from a low angle to emphasize the height.
-
For the best sunset and cityscape shots, time your boarding about 30 minutes before dusk to catch the changing colors of the sky.
Cultural Etiquette
Respect local customs and traditions
Japanese queues are highly organized, so please wait patiently in the designated lines and follow the staff's instructions during boarding. Keep your voices at a moderate volume inside the gondola to respect the peaceful experience of other riders nearby. Tipping is not practiced in Japan, so simply offer a polite bow or a simple thank you to the staff as they assist you.
Special Events & Experiences
Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights
-
During the winter holiday season, the wheel features special festive LED light shows and illuminated cabins that sync with EXPOCITY's Christmas decorations.
-
In spring, riders can enjoy breathtaking aerial views of the cherry blossoms blooming throughout the sprawling Expo 70 Commemorative Park.
-
The wheel often participates in Osaka's summer light-up festivals, offering extended evening hours and vibrant neon displays against the night sky.
Important Guidelines & Safety
Essential safety information and guidelines
-
Hold onto handrails and keep small children seated at all times, especially when walking on the transparent glass floor sections.
-
Do not lean against, push, or strike the glass panels of the gondola, as this can cause damage and compromise safety.
-
If you are prone to severe vertigo or motion sickness, consider riding during daylight hours when the visual impact of the height is slightly less intense than at night.
Visitor Information
Entry Fee
Your booking includes an individual ordinary carriage ticket, allowing you to bypass ticket counters by scanning your e-ticket directly at the gate.
