Tombori river cruise is a good option to enjoy the area. The ride is short but fun. No need to book in advance or at least when we went there, there was no like.

The cost is 1000 yen per person. It boasts stunning views and a pleasant atmosphere, with minimal queuing time. The access point from Don Don appears to be on either the third or fourth floor; however, this requires verification. Overall, it was enjoyable.

The impressive size and height of the wheel do no justice to the views of Osaka you get from inside. It's like paying a few Dollars (a few hundred Yen) for a 10 min helicopter flight over the city. I make a point of riding it each time I visit Osaka.
