Also known as HEP 5

Osaka's answer to Shibuya 109: a red-painted mall full of fast fashion, with a famously bright red ferris wheel bolted to the roof. Local superstition says the wheel is bad luck for couples β€” take that for what you will. Easy to find because you can see the wheel from anywhere in central Umeda.

Type shopping mall, ferris wheel
πŸ’‘ Local tip

Heads up: Rooftop ferris wheel is said to curse couples β€” solo rides only, supposedly.
