was a tall Ferris wheel at Palette Town shopping mall in Odaiba, Japan.

== Description and history == When it opened in March 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 also lost its title as Japan’s tallest Ferris wheel to the Diamond and Flower Ferris Wheel and Sky Dream Fukuoka in 2001, followed by the Redhorse Osaka Wheel in 2016.
