Mizu no Hiroba Park (West Area) — Attraction in Tokyo

Daikanransha (Giant Sky Wheel), Tokyo

Once the tallest Ferris wheel in the world when it opened in 1999, Daikanransha offered Tokyo’s version of enlightenment — a slow, squeaky 115-meter rise into the sky that reminded you how small you are, and how big your fear of heights can get when you’re trapped in a swaying glass orb with strangers and canned music.

Views? Sublime. On a clear day, you could see Tokyo Tower, Rainbow Bridge, even Mount Fuji giving a distant nod of approval. By night, the neon skyline turned the ride into a rotating postcard of futuristic dreams and urban insomnia.

The wheel was part of Palette Town in Odaiba, that bizarre, futuristic mall complex that felt like a video game level from the early 2000s. Sadly, Daikanransha retired in 2022, dismantled piece by piece a gentle giant spinning into memory.

It may be gone, but it lives on in awkward family photos, vertigo flashbacks, and the quiet nostalgia of a city that never stops reinventing...
