A Bluetooth speaker and air-conditioner is provided inside the gondola to make sure you can have a great time whether it’s summer or winter. HEP FIVE Ferris Wheel review Now, after knowing all that information, are you ready to take a ride? This time, our writer from China rode the HEP FIVE Ferris Wheel for the first time just like you. Hope you will find the following experience helpful! HEP FIVE Ferris Wheel, located in the popular Umeda area in Osaka, has a stunning all-red structure which stands out among the tall buildings around. The bright red and clear blue sky intertwines to form a spectacular picture. When entering HEP FIVE mall, there is an information counter on the left side. If foreign tourists show passports to the staff, a JPY500 coupon is offered which can be used for shopping and dining in the mall. Next, on the right side is an elevator that can take you directly to the 7th floor where the Ferris wheel terminal is located. Also, an escalator is close to the entrance and is recommended when the elevator is crowded. Before going up, don’t forget to take a picture with the large whale at the entrance! Ticket counter is right in front after getting out of the elevator. You can purchase a ticket from the ticket machines next to the counter but please note that only cash is accepted. In addition to Japanese, English, Chinese and Korean instructions are provided by the ticket machines. Next to them is a currency change machine which accepts 14 kinds of foreign currencies. For those who have an Osaka Amazing pass, the Ferris wheel ride is free. Once you have the ticket, follow the line and head to the boarding area. It’s time to ride the Ferris wheel! The Ferris wheel gondola is painted in beautiful red both outside and inside which is really romantic and photogenic, especially during sunset and at night. Inside the gondola, there is a Bluetooth speaker and air-conditioner facilities that promise you a pleasant riding experience even on the hottest day in summer. The instruction of the speaker is written in both Japanese and English. The windows of the gondolas are clean enough for you to see the beautiful view no matter if it’s day or night and you can find coupon information inside. With the Ferris wheel slowly going up, you can see the most prosperous area in Osaka at a glance. Plenty of photo opportunities available that seem as though you are floating in the air. When getting close to the top spot, look around so you can find the famous Osaka Castle if visibility is good enough. Strolling through the air in the gondola is sure to be an unforgettable and special experience. However, riding at night is a quite different experience from the day. After the sun goes down and everything else seems to loosen up a little, the red color structure is particularly eye-catching against the dark night. Thousands of buildings are illuminated by surrounding lights, creating this stunning scene. Ride the Ferris wheel and enjoy the terrific night view with your favorite song played as background music during the 15-minute’s ride, what a perfect ending of the day! When the ride comes to an end, you can follow the exit sign and go back to HEP FIVE mall. But before that, who not take a photo with the photogenic Ferris wheel as background! Compared with the time when getting into the gondola, you can have enough time to take individual photos when you get off! Food options after taking a ride Once you follow the exit sign and go back to the mall, it leads you to the food floor “TAMLO”. Here you may find not only chic cafes, but also Tonkatsu restaurants. Also, there are lunch and dinner menus offered by restaurants such as hamburg shops in colorful decorations. If you want some Osaka local snacks, go to the 1st floor of HEP FIVE where there is a Takoyaki store. ▼Check this article▼ Osaka Umeda’s newest gourmet spot, HEP FIVE “TAMLO” is perfect for lunch and a cafe!

Fireworks are one of the most popular summer traditions in Japan! Do you know how Japanese people enjoy fireworks? We will introduce Japanese summer culture along with information on fireworks displays in the Kansai region. -INDEX- This is how Japanese people enjoy fireworks! Japanese fireworks are among the most delicate and beautiful in the world!

In other countries, fireworks are often shot off at New Year’s Eve events. In Japan, they are said to have taken root in the summer time to avoid the sweltering heat of summer days and to enjoy the cooler weather. At fireworks festivals held in various locations, many people are seen wearing yukata, a traditional Japanese summer garment, to enjoy the once-a-year event. The yukata is usually worn with geta (Japanese wooden clogs) and an uchiwa (Japanese fan) or fan for relief from the heat. Food stalls are often set up in the vicinity of the fireworks display, and these stalls are also a source of enjoyment. In addition to takoyaki, yakitori, cotton candy, shaved ice, and other gourmet food stalls, there are also yo-yo scooping, target shooting, and other game stalls that are very lively. Another popular way to enjoy summer evenings is to set off handheld fireworks in your own yard or at a park. Especially popular are sparklers. It is a traditional Japanese handheld firework that burns dramatically from the moment it is characterized by the dramatic way it burns from the moment it is lit to the moment it extinguishes. They are beautiful and stir the senses. Japanese fireworks are among the most delicate and beautiful in the world! Fireworks are popular all over the world, but Japanese fireworks are said to be particularly delicate and artistic. They have a beautiful spherical shape that never goes out of shape, colors that change midway, and the graceful way they all light up and disappear at the same time. The elaborate and gorgeous fireworks, which pyrotechnists have studied and improved over the years with their craftsmen’s souls, show the aesthetic sense of the Japanese people. But you can’t appreciate the splendor of the fireworks until you actually see them! The following is a list of fireworks displays held in the Kansai region, so please come and see the world-class Japanese fireworks with your own eyes!

Tenjin Matsuri, one of the three major festivals in Japan, has a history of more than 1,000 years. The Tenjin Matsuri ends with a dedication fireworks display. Approximately 3,000 fireworks are launched as a dedication to the gods. About 100 boats, including boats decorated with traditional dolls on the bow and boats with bonfires lit, come and go along the Okawa River, the site of the festival. The fireworks shining in the sky and the lively river are a picturesque sight! If you visit Japan, this is a festival you must see at least once.

In 2024, various fireworks will be launched in five scenes under the theme of “~RISE~ to the world with your feelings in fireworks soaring high in the sky. In the grand finale, fireworks of overwhelming volume and grand scale will fill the sky. If you want to view the fireworks in a relaxed atmosphere, paid seats are recommended. Due to road construction, free viewing is not available on the embankment on the Umeda side, and large crowds are expected along the embankment on the Hankyu Juso Station side.
