Daikanransha

Daikanransha is a 115-metre tall, 177 metre's diameter Giant Ferris wheel at Palette Town in the minato mirai 21 district of Odaiba, Japan.When it opened in 1999, it was the world's tallest Ferris wheel. It has the same 100-metre diameter as its world record predecessor, the Tempozan Ferris Wheel, at Osaka, but its overall height is 2.5 metres greater. Daikanransha lost its world's tallest status to the 135-metre London Eye, which officially opened on December 31, 1999, but which did not open to the public until March 2000 because of technical problems.

It is the third tallest Ferris wheel ever constructed in Japan, and, since the closure of 120-metre Sky Dream Fukuoka in September 2009, the second tallest still in operation, after the 117-metre Diamond and Flower Ferris Wheel. It is also Asia's 10th tallest and the world's 12th tallest wheel ever constructed.
