DAIKANRANSHA FERRIS WHEEL

Daikanransha, literally meaning “big wheel”, is a colorful, 115-meter tall Ferris wheel located in Odaiba. Adjacent to Venus Fort, an outlet mall styled like Venetian side streets, and Toyota Mega Web, a showroom for new Toyota models, Daikanransha gives great views of Tokyo Bay, Rainbow Bridge, Tokyo Tower, Tokyo Skytree and the iron jungle of the metropolitan bay front. The 16-minute ride costs ¥900 and you choose between a color cabin or one of only a few clear-bottom cabins. It’s open from 10:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m., and closes an hour later on Fridays and Saturdays, so you’re able to see the magnificent lights of the city at night.
