If you’re an anime fan—or simply love quirky, immersive city experiences—you can’t miss the Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End anime café collaboration at the iconic HEP FIVE Ferris Wheel in Osaka.  Frieren is a beautifully reflective anime about time, memory, and what remains after the hero’s journey ends. The series takes place in a fantasy world and follows Frieren, an elven mage on a journey to the resting place of souls to reunite with her former comrade Himmel, whose Hero Party slew the Demon King.
