Asakusa Hanayashiki

Went there with my 5-yo boy November 2025. We stayed at a hotel that's steps away so we were able to go back to take a nap and re-enter. It's a fun little park for kids, and since it's small, all rides are really close to each other and you don't have to walk a lot. The ride line up is also very short. I definitely recommend it for families with young children.

A bit overpriced for the amount of rides/their age, but has a lot of history and is still a fun time. Ride queue and seating could be better as it would take several minutes to start the ride despite the fact I was alone on a few. You can exit and re-enter with your ticket so you can try out food outside the park + leave when you need a break from all the screaming children.🤭

This amusement park is perfect for families! While some of the rides are old... But my kids didn't care at all. We bought day passes and rode our hearts out! No lines! We also did the scavenger hunt, walk-through haunted house, and the crane game arcade.

Paid a pilgrimage visit to this tiny amusement park tucked into the middle of Tokyo. Go when it first opens to soak in the slightly worn atmosphere. Rides are mostly geared for younger children, though I did see a couple having wedding photographs shot while riding the carousel.

We attended yesterday with a 4 and 7 year old. We all bought the day pass - unlimited rides: wrist band. Friendly staff but as always in Japan, over the top with rules and safety when the rides are very simple and tiny. It's a small but fun theme park, I'd say for children 6 or less in age, otherwise it's too baby-ish. I wouldn't attend as an adult only, without kids. If you have a 4 year old, beware of the hidden trap: they cannot go on a few of the rides unless they buy tickets inside the park (entry is free for 4 or under). Dodgy map: says on it kids 'less than 4' can't ride some rides without purchasing tickets, when it should say 4 or less. My son was 4 - what about 4 year olds? We would have been better saying he's 5 (he will be in 3 weeks) and buying him a wrist band for the day. Signs for each ride mostly only say about height and age, but not 4 year olds. He was turned away from a few rides and very upset, crying. The Ghost Train ride was the least scary one of its type I've ever done! The house of surprises and carnival ride, merry-go round, plus helicopter and ship rides were favourites with my kids. You can ride the rides all day long. Not many food places. Toilets were clean. Receiving re-entry at the exit is good. Much cheaper than USJ and no lining up when we went. It would be nice at night. Pretty gardens. No glitz and glamour: it's old but well maintained.

A pleasant albeit hokey little amusement park crammed into a very small area in the Asakusa neighborhood. The rides are all a bit dated but my 4 year old had a great time and it is a nice way to spend a few hours if your kiddo likes rides!

This review is from the eyes of my son. We first came in April and again on our November Trip to Tokyo. He absolutely loved this place. His favorite ride was the House of Surprises. If you are there it's a must ;-). It's always great to see first time adults/parents on the ride. Haha could seriously make a funny video out of reactions. If you do t know, guess you'll just need to make a trip to find out what it's all about haha. We were randomly walking down the streets in the mid morning from the temples, and just randomly found ourselves here. It was a pleasant surprise to get some fun in for my son, while mommy shopped. The best part was all rides had no lines (in April, but November was crowded), so we multiple times and just jumped back in line if he liked a ride. Overall the park is small, but it's lower cost and a fun little spot to do something with the younger kids if you are staying in the area.

it's the oldest amusement park in Japan. Not fancy, small amusement park. The best part is we enjoyed without lineup. We got on roller coaster 5 times with the daypass. We can go out of the park for lunch if you receive a re-entry ticket. Good for Little kids, teens, and families.

Came back to asakusa and son son still had a wonderful time here. We rode the fun house over and over again. It's always great to see first time parents on the ride. Haha could seriously make a funny video out of reactions. If you do t know, guess you'll just need to make a trip to find out what it's all about haha. I know if we are ever back in asakusa, we'll define key be popping in again.

Asakusa hanashiki is the oldest amusement park in all of Japan! It was super fun to go and very nostalgic for a couple of my friends who had not been there since they were children. There is a 1000 yen entrance fee and an all you can ride pass available for 2300 yen. I'm glad Sasha recommended that we get the all you can ride pass because there were many things I would have skipped if I did not have the unlimited pass. Some attractions we're only available we Japanese language but it was fun to experience it and others were kind of boring or childish but we're fun to go because of the unlimited Ride Pass. The best ride is the sky shot that is normally 500 yen for one ride but we did that five times just by itself so it was well worth it. The best part was that it was not crowded at all and they were virtually no lines and no wait for any of the attractions. There are food and drinks available inside the park but just as with other amusement parks, it is a little pricey and there are many options available just outside the park. So I recommend you enjoy the amusement park for a couple hours go outside to eat and return if you want. Just be sure to be stamped so you can return later if you want. Strongly recommended!

You should not imagine something like Busch Garden or Tokyo Disney Land. It's super tiny one for really young kids or old adults. Maybe good for new couples, too. Variety: Small attractions. A tiny roller coaster! Price: Not bad. Customer service: Ok. Parking: Not sure but you can find cheaper garages. Location: Close to Senso-ji(temple)

My family visited during a very busy week of New Year. The place was packed. Please note that there are no fast passes, so be prepared to be in the ONLY roller coaster line for an hour. Buy the unlimited ride for kids. For adults, we just took turn on coupon books. There isn't a need to ride every ride, because they are very short and really for kids. I also noticed that for all the rides, there is only one worker - to check people in, to announce ride safety, to measure kids' heights, to buckle and unbuckle riders, to let them out, etc. Yes, this extends the wait time. What is very amazing is they've done all of these with a smile and super politeness. The Japanese riders are also very polite, happy and patient. No complaints and everybody was in very good mood. They're smiles and hospitality were so contagious. If you love crepes, they have Marion crepes and I was in heaven. So many selections! There are other snacks but just eat outside the park. The Asakusa shopping area is literally outside the park's gate. This is the oldest amusement park in Japan, so don't expect shimmering rides or Disney mascots around. Have a great time and enjoy the ambiance.

Such an interesting concept! Having a theme park in the middle of the city? Hanayashiki park is really and odd one! A ten minute walk around the Asakusa Shrine, sits a small, quirky and modest amusement park carnival! Entry wasn't expensive, but if you want to go to any of the attractions you'll need to buy tickets...! Each attraction costs different amount of tickets, we all went on three rides and it totaled about thirty five dollars among the three of us. It feels a bit surreal since we are so close to residential buildings, it feels out of place but also snug and quite at home. The park isn't polished as you would imagine an amusement park like Six Flags or Universal Studios to be: there are vines and plants overtaking railings and walls and painted mascots and characters scattered around that had seen better days, if their chipped paint was any indication. Regardless, it's very whimsical and has a quiet charm to it. It feels more like an carnival in the fact that some of the rides remind me of those I'd see at a carnival like the Viking ship that would swing back and forth, or the tower that would shoot you up into and drop you over and over again. There are probably no more than twelve attractions that fill the small space, but it sure is fascinating! My favorite ride was a high railing that would glide you above the entire park, the view is fantastic, especially during golden hour! If you like whimsy and carnivals, this may be your best bet in Japan!

An amusement park in Japan that is worth going back to. Beautiful, kid and adult friendly.
