Daiya to Hana no Kanransha

No trip to a Japanese family attraction is ever complete without a ferris wheel. Or Dai Kanransha.

Kasai Rinkai Koen is no exception. This picture was taken on our trip to Sea Life Park. It is called the Ferris Wheel of Diamonds and Flowers (Daiya to Hana no Kanrasha). I wonder if anyone actually rides it? There was no line. The ferris wheel is located near from Tokyo Disney Land. On a clear evening, I suspect you have a great view of the Rainbow Bridge.

This is the same ferris wheel that greets us on our limousine bus ride from Narita.

There seems to be a race in Japan to see who has the largest Ferris Wheel. I am not sure where the largest one is. Sky Dream in Fukuoka is currently the largest in Japan at 120 meters. The Daiya to Hana is the second largest at 170 meters.

We did not ride the ferris wheel on this trip since it was cloudy. The ride apparently is about 15 minutes long.
