is a tall Ferris wheel at Palette Town in Odaiba, Tokyo, Japan.〔(daikanransha.com : パレットタウン大観覧車<大観覧車データ> ) 〕 When it opened in 1999, it was the world's tallest Ferris wheel. It has the same diameter as its world record predecessor, the Tempozan Ferris Wheel, at Osaka, but its overall height is greater. Daikanransha lost its world's tallest status to the 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 Sky Dream Fukuoka in September 2009, the second tallest still in operation, after the Diamond and Flower Ferris Wheel. It is also Asia's 10th tallest and the world's 12th tallest wheel ever constructed. Daikanransha is visible from the central urban area of Tokyo, and passengers can see the Tokyo Tower, the twin-deck Rainbow Bridge, and Haneda Airport, as well as central Tokyo, during their 16-minute ride. The Bōsō Peninsula and Mount Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan, can also be seen on a clear day,〔(japan-i.jp : Daikanransha (giant Ferris wheel) )〕〔(japanican.com : Dia to Hana no Daikanransha )〕 and at night the wheel is brightly lit by 120,000 neon tubes programmed to display multiple patterns in over 100 colours.〔(asiaone.com : Romance, shopping and stylish dining in Tokyo )〕 Image:Odaiba Ferris Wheel.jpg|Daikanransha Image:Odaiba palette town 2.jpg|Structure and cars Image:Odaiba10.jpg|Odaiba skyline ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Daikanransha」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
