The Daikanransha was a 115-meter-tall ferris wheel located in the Odaiba district of Koto City, Tokyo. At the time of its construction in 1999, it held the title of the world's tallest ferris wheel. The structure featured 64 passenger gondolas, including several with fully transparent floors. It offered panoramic views of the Tokyo Bay area, the Rainbow Bridge, and Tokyo Tower. On clear days, visibility extended to Mt. Fuji and the Boso Peninsula. The wheel was a prominent visual landmark in the Palette Town complex. As of August 2022, the Daikanransha was permanently closed and subsequently dismantled as part of the total redevelopment of the Palette Town site.
