Nagashima Spa Land

Tickets can be purchased at the park or at a convenience store.It is Japan's largest amusement park with about 60 attractions. It is a popular park such as “Steel Dragon 2000” registered in Guinness, 4D spin coaster “Arashi”, and hybrid type coaster “hakugei” of wood and iron.

I’ve been traveling to amusement parks all over the world and have been on some pretty amazing roller coasters. Japan has a good list of top favorites when it comes to roller coasters. This park is extremely clean. One of the cleanest parks I’ve ever been to. All the major roller coasters were open at gate drop but after two trains on Steel Dragon finished their circuit, the ride closed due to high (not so high) winds and never re-opened. If your goal is to ride this ride, be warned that the slightest breeze will close it down. Maybe be the first in line and sprint there when the gates open to be the first on the ride. Hakugei is all that it’s hyped up to be! I’ve never been thrown around in my seat on a roller coaster as much as I have on this one. It’s everything you would expect on an RMC. Similar to other guest reviews, they have very different loading and line styles in Japan. Safety and experience are very important and it shows the way they load the trains. They take extra time to make sure each person is loaded correctly and go over safety multiple times. As an American, I’m all about speed and efficiency but in Japan, speed is not life. Expect long wait times (especially on a busy day) because they don’t load the trains as quick as one would expect. For Hakugei, if you have something extra cash on you, buy the Priority Ticket for 1,000¥ which you can get at the ride entrance. I rode it twice, once in the regular line and once in the priority line. The regular line took 1.25 hours and the priority line took 10min. The same loading style happens on all the major rides so bring some patience, reading material or someone to keep you company because you’ll be waiting a lot. They do have free lockers at all the major rides so you don’t have to leave your bag at home. The park itself is very vibrant. Lots of colors, theming and it’s extremely clean. Highly recommended for people of all ages.

Yuenchi Motopia, SUZUKA CIRKIT

Reviewed By VictorT865 - Hong Kong, China

This is a great place to spend a day during week days as there is very little line up. With a entrance pass plus a attractions pass, kids and adults can enjoy unlimited rides on most if not all rides. My kids particukarly like the small go carts. They get to dress up in full gear with body suits, helmets..etc and enjoy a race on the cart. They have lap records, beat records for the day etc. So they are quite serious with their attractions. Highly recommended.

Not much of a bird-lover, I agreed to go with Hubby. KACHOEN is quite AMAZING. First, a variety of owls, with different "eyebrows". Explosion of color from the flowers, begonias in hanging baskets, other flowers from floor to ceiling, even in February! Take a seat for the live owl performance, very well trained! I liked the flamingos best. Outside their cage is Mt. Fuji up close. And look for the "Trump" bird: looks, walks, and talks like Trump...
