Float in the skies above Sapporo on the Noria Ferris Wheel. The 32 climate-controlled gondolas float gently above the skyline at the Norbesa Center, in the heart of the Susukino entertainment district of downtown Sapporo. It is open until 3 am on Fridays and Saturdays, and 11 pm on other days. Up to four people can share a gondola for 2000 yen, or you can have a gondola by yourself. After hitting cloud nine, sneak down to the Mandarake Anime, Doll, and Cosplay costume shop, or take a class at the Actors’ Studio and Music School. There are also bowling alleys, Karaoke bars or restaurants, and an outdoor beer garden in the summer months. This entertainment center is for young and old, day and night.

Looks super fun, Bonson! Esp the ferris wheel.
One of the gondolas is of a different colour. Apparently it is good luck if you ride in that one. Great views from the top too! Hope you can get to Sapporo soon!
