About Diamond and Flower Ferris Wheel Ticket

The Diamond and Flower Ferris Wheel at Kasai Rinkai Park is one of Tokyo's most distinctive and beloved landmarks — completed in 2001 on the shores of Tokyo Bay in Edogawa City, it held the title of the world's tallest Ferris wheel at opening and remains Japan's largest today. The wheel takes its name from the spectacular nightly illumination that cycles through diamond and flower patterns across the structure, transforming the park's skyline into something genuinely magical after dark.

Each of the spacious air-conditioned gondolas accommodates up to six passengers and offers 360-degree panoramic views through large windows — the ride lasts approximately 17 minutes and covers the full scenic arc from water level to 117 metres. Looking out from the top on a clear day, the view spans the full sweep of Tokyo Bay — the Rainbow Bridge and its expressway crossing the water, the Aqua-Line's Umihotaru floating service station in the middle of the bay, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building visible in the western skyline, Tokyo Tower, Tokyo Skytree, and the distinctive silhouettes of Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea on the Chiba coast. In the far distance on clear winter days, the snow-capped cone of Mount Fuji rises above the horizon — one of the most memorable sightings available from any Tokyo attraction.

Kasai Rinkai Park surrounds the Ferris wheel with an extraordinary range of complementary experiences — the Tokyo Sea Life Park with its famous bluefin tuna migration tank, the Choryu-en Bird Sanctuary, the sandy beach facing the bay, and the park train that loops through the grounds all make it easy to spend a full morning or afternoon in this genuinely undervisited corner of Tokyo. The park is a 15 to 20-minute train ride from central Tokyo on the JR Keiyo Line. Book your Diamond and Flower Ferris Wheel ticket now on Thrillark and save up to 15%.
