Fuji-Q Highland is one of those places that feels like it was designed to test both your courage and your patience. The roller coasters here aren’t just rides, they’re full-blown spiritual experiences that fling you into the sky, flip your stomach inside out, and then set you gently back down with a strange new respect for gravity. These are without a doubt some of the best coasters in Japan, and honestly, some of the best in the world.
The food inside the park is surprisingly great too, not just an afterthought like in so many theme parks. You can actually enjoy a proper meal while staring at the surreal backdrop of Mount Fuji, which makes the whole experience feel almost like you’ve stumbled into an anime.
That said, you’ve got to prepare yourself for the lines. The waits can stretch on, and there’s a meditative quality to standing there, inching forward, knowing that what you’re about to experience is worth the hours. A fast pass helps, but even without one, the anticipation is part of the ritual.
If you’re a thrill seeker, a food lover, or someone who just wants to scream their lungs out in the shadow of one of the most beautiful mountains on earth, Fuji-Q Highland is a pilgrimage worth making.
