Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I love the scenery when it's at the top of the Hep Five Ferris Wheel and you can see the overall view of Osaka city. The cleanliness of the cable car is very clean and equipped with speakers for you to install your favorite song while on the car. The price is reasonable and the purchasing ticket is easy.

We really enjoyed this! We spotted this ferris wheel from our hotel, and set out to find it. Especially enjoyed that it was air conditioned (it’s hot in July!!) and there’s a bluetooth speaker you can connect to for your own music while you ride. I would recommend “Summer City” by Tube for some good vibes. Take the elevator up to the 7th floor from the main Hep Five entrance (you’ll see a giant whale) and then you’ll be right there! During the day there was no wait time - we bought tickets and were able to go on right away. Probably about 30 min in total going around?
The cars are comfortable for about 4 people - it was great for us 2 with our shopping bags. Worth checking out some of the bargain stores at Hep Five too!

Hep Five is right next to Umeda Station. You can see it from afar. The ride time is about 15-20 mins. You can enjoy the city view and identify some buildings with the marking on the window. It is not really a must do but very enjoyable.

We loved our experience! Little kids are free so it was only 1200 yen for us to go on. The most cost effective and fun thing that we’ve done in Osaka! Highly recommend (there’s also a Disney store in the shopping centre to visit before or after 😉)

Located on the top floor of the Hep Five shopping mall. Take the elevator to the top and you will see the ticket area and line. Buy the ticket at the machine, I believe it may have been cash/QR pay only. Hand over your ticket, get in line. Around 30min after sunset I waited maybe 15 min at most, not long. If you are solo, you get your own car - every group gets their own car. The views at night were pretty cool, nothing super amazing, as a lot of buildings block sweeping views. Probably better at sunset. A neat little unique activity, as the ferris wheel is on the roof of the building. Not a "must do," though, if you are in a crunch for time.

Fun experience. We visited around lunch time on a day in June and there was no wait at all. Access through the Hep shopping mall - we followed the signs easily.
It was included in our Osaka Amzing Pass, so there was no charge.
Took around 20-30mins. There was lots to see across the city and felt safe!

i had an infant in tow and it was raining so going up the ferris wheel was a pleasant experience. it is also very affordable (would have cost 3000 yen to go up the singapore flyer) so 500 yen is really decent.

We were surprised to see a huge Ferris Wheel in the middle of Osaka skyscrapers. I’m sure it’s a great way to see the city with incredible views. Unfortunately, I was too scared to go up so high so declined going on it. It looks like a lot of fun though!

The view is nice and love the red color wheel. The ticket is cheap also. Having a ferris wheel on top of a shopping mall is something new and cool to me.

It's located near to Umeda station, with walking distance. It's inside a shopping mall that you have to take lift up to 7 floor, or 9 .... I forgot. Honestly I don't know how much it costs because I'm using Osaka Amazing Pass that already covers the entrances. I went at around 5pm, therefore I am able to enjoy the sunset and the nice view around the city. It tooks around 15 minutes on the ferris wheel and just enjoy ride.

Hi
There are two ferris wheel in Osaka, Tempozan Ferris Wheel and Hep Five Ferries Wheel. Which one do you prefer?
Written 11 November 2015
The hep five looks very good at night time it's all red that's the only wheel I tried in Osaka the carriages are smaller than the London eye carriages the feeling I think is the same which ever wheel you try the only difference would be the view when you are at the top I also notice there are wheels everywhere in japan
