Yomiuriland – A Hidden Gem Near Shinjuku! 🎢

I recently had the chance to visit Yomiuriland, and wow, what an unforgettable experience! If you’re looking for a fun, family friendly amusement park in Tokyo without the insane crowds of Disneyland or Universal, Yomiuriland is the place to be. Getting there was super easy. just took the Keio Line straight from Shinjuku Station, no transfers needed, and in about 30-40 minutes, I was at Keio-Yomiuriland Station. From there, you can take the Gondola Sky Shuttle for 500 yen roundtrip. it’s a fun ride with amazing views as you glide towards the park! The park has something for everyone, whether you’re a thrill-seeker or with young kids. For me: -Bandit, the roller coaster, was crazy fast and thrilling, just the way I like it. -The Giant Ferris Wheel was the perfect way to take in the entire park and the view of the Tokyo skyline (and even Mt. Fuji on clear days) was breathtaking. We went during winter, and the Jewellumination light show was incredible, everything lit up with millions of LED lights. It really felt like we were in a winter wonderland. The entry ticket was only 1,800 yen, which I thought was really affordable for the experience. I didn’t get the one-day pass because I wasn’t sure if I’d be doing all the rides, but you can get the pass for 5,800 yen if you want unlimited access. I chose to pay as I went, with each ride costing around 300-500 yen. It worked out to be much cheaper than I expected, and there were plenty of food options to keep us going throughout the day. Why I Recommend It - Not crowded: No long waits for rides, which was so refreshing compared to other theme parks. - Affordable: With options to pay only for the rides you want, it’s budget-friendly for families. - Perfect for all ages: Whether you’re a thrill junkie or have small kids, there’s something for everyone here. #yomiuriland #tokyoadventure #familyfun #japanamusementparks #yomiurilandexperience #thrillrides #winterwonderland #familytraveljapan #affordablefun #tokyowithkids #jewellumination #tokyotrip
