We were there on a 2nd week of December 2019. Took about an hour train ride to reach Maihama station, collect our tickets and headed to the entrance. Despite it was a Tuesday, there were lot of people headed to Disneyland (or Disneysea), tourists and local alike. We headed to the Tomorrowland first, managed to get fast tickets to 'Monster Inc' while we ride on the Star Tours. Space Mountain was closed while we were there. We managed to catch the Christmas Parade at 10.30, ate our lunch and waited for the Dreamin Up Parade at 1.20pm and the Night 'Dreamlights' Parade too. (Tip: get a seat 1 hour before the Parade starts). We didn't have luck on the Lottery for both the Shows (located in Tomorrowland), hence we skipped those. We queue up for the Dumbo Ride in Fantasyland and managed to ride on Big Thunder Mountain (about 40-45 minutes queue) and went for rides with less queues; Toon Park, Island raft, Treehouse, Western Railroad, Pirates of the Carribean. Towards late afternoon, we noticed the groups of tourists had left, we went back to Tomorrowland and ride on Buzzlightyear with lesser queue. After the Parade, we managed to stay for the fireworks far left from the castle-with-no-sphere-and-under-refurbishment.) All in all, we were filled with Disney vibe to the brim, especially so for my youngest boy, his first Disneyland trip!

I've only been to the parks in the US, but the people stating this is the BEST Disney park in the entire world, are not wrong. If you're a ride junky, short line person, or staunch american food eater, this might not be for you. However, I'd still recommend doing it One time in your life. the Japanese have created a massive sea side extravaganza. Never have I seen so many lands, and everything is so extravagant and big. From the Prometheus Volcano, hidden island, Arabia castles, Indiana Jones pyramid, Tower of Terror, Marine institute, Columbia ship, all these things are huge decorative items that dwarf the impact of the impact of the favored California Disneyland Castle. This place is magnfiicant on the eyes. ALSO, park prices are well less than HALF of American park prices. Worth the plane fair alone.

Located right by the water. All shows were great. Killer whales were the best among the four. Lots of excitement and applause from the audience throughout the performance.

Sanrio Puroland is great fun for all ages. I took my daughter (7) who initially thought Hello Kitty is for babies and we both had such good time. The rides, shows, and games are all very well done and there are lots of places to eat inside the park. It is easy to get to by train. We purchased tickets online on Klook before hand and both booking and redeeming was super easy (this is not to be taken for granted within Japan so want to call it out). They hand out a map and daily schedule at the door. These are handy for planning out your day. We ended up staying for 6 hours because there was so much fun to be had.

Lines are a lot shorter when paid for individually, rather than the US standard of paying park admission. We experienced Vanish! (the pink coaster that dives into a tunnel in the water), the beautiful ferris wheel (which offers some fantastic views of Yokohama Bay), a 3-D laser shooting ride, and the log ride. Enjoyed it immensely.

To avoid rushing, you may want to consider to spend a night stay at Nikko as we stayed at Tokyo and hence 1 way train travel already taken up 2 hour (excluding shuttle bus to the Wonderland). You get to "travel back" Edo' s period & opt to rent Edo's customes. There are variety of traditional games & experiences for you to explore. Do miss trying Karakuri Ninja Maze & Kai Kai Ninja House! Last but not least, you will find yourself busy in taking photos! The scenery was amazing during Winter!

YOKOHAMA HAKKEIJIMA SEA PARADISE is a leisure land surrounded by nature. It is located at the tip of Yokohama Bay and is a new generation style amusement park. It is the home of one of the top aquariums in Japan. There is Japan's first surf coaster that swings out over the ocean, an exhilarating vertical fall amusement ride, BLUE FALL. We have specialty shops , great restaurants, a marina and a hotel located among wide grass and flower gardens. There are so many things to do and experience; you will not be satisfied with just one visit. Being at our Sea Paradise creates an ideal setting where man and sea can communicate together.

Before entering the main gate, the walkway has already got us stunned, it’s not the usual seaside view. We were surrounded by windy wild sea with eagles flying around above us, not to mention walking on the long bridgeway towards the main gate was so exciting, as if you walked on an open sea! Overall the Aquarium is not crowded. Bought Aqua Resort Pass to enjoy 4 areas in the aquarium (Aqua Museum, Fureai Lagoon, Umi Farm and Dolphin Fantasy). Special shout out ought to be the giant fish tank! One just cant resist not to stop by, standing and admiring the underwater dances. We enjoyed the trip very much as we didn’t bother to take slower steps in every segment. For seafood fans, you can have the freshest seafood meal by fishing it yourself and have it cooked here at Umi Farm. We are satisfied with almost everything here, except the gift shop is not that fancy. Overall, it might not be the best aquarium experience you’ve ever been but it is the one that you don’t want to miss out. Definitely coming back!

I took my 3 kids here today. From our place it is quite far. We took a train and bus. Since it is our first time to go to this place, I don’t know much about the place. The kids were having fun playing at the long roller slides. They rode a pony (paid 100 yen per kid).They touched and fed some sheeps and goats (free).They even touched guinea pigs (free). By the way, originally the entrance fee for adult is 900 yen. But since I bought ticket online I got it for 810 yen. For elementary student 200 down to 180 yen. For preschoolers 100 down to 90 yen. I know, it is not much differences but with this trip my preschooler is free. Going back, they have also enough space for you to place your tent. Since we didn’t go by car, I didn’t bring our tent. They also have kids museum. On B1, you can find their acting studio. Went in and found their information desk, and I got curious on the acting studio. For 1. 5 hours, there will be storytelling, kids will be able to play one of the character in the said story, dress up, put some face paint, and act. Paid 300 yen per kid. The kids had fun and enjoyed the set. Though it is time consuming, it was a good experience. While waiting for the call time, we go around the building. On 1F you can find the workshop area. You can make your own crafts. Have to pay, can not remember the prices. Prices vary on the craft. 2F has 3D arts. You can take a phot and it is free. Definitely we will come back and experience some other area.
