Introduction

HEP FIVE is a comprehensive commercial facility located in Umeda, Osaka, known for its iconic 75-meter-diameter bright red Ferris wheel. The name "HEP" comes from the first letter of Hankyu Entertainment Park. The mall has a total of 9 floors, with fashion and lifestyle shops on the basement 1st to 6th floors, a food street on the 7th floor, and entertainment facilities on the basement 2nd and 8th-9th floors. The most appealing feature of the mall is the central red Ferris wheel, which attracts people's attention during the day and transforms with ever-changing computer projection lighting at night. Upon boarding the Ferris wheel, the gondola rises to a height of 106 meters above the ground, offering a panoramic view of downtown Osaka. Additionally, the mall features a 20-meter-long red whale designed by "Ryuya Ishii" on the high ceiling, adding an artistic touch to the mall.
