Asakusa Hanayashiki - Taito City

Had great time here with family this past weekend. Nice throwback to early days of amusement park. Fun and friendly atmosphere and not that many lineups... at least not too long ones. Its also relatively inexpensive too, good for a date.

Not quite a place for visitor/tourist (whatever you call yourself) unless you have plenty of time in Tokyo and want to find a way to kill it in Asakusa area. It's good for local families to enjoy a warm day waiting 40 minutes in line to have a 1 minute ride on some old-fashioned rides. It's amazing how everything is fitted in such a small place. Additional tickets for each ride on top of 1000 yen entry fee makes it quite expensive for what you get.

Feel the fun 1970s style. Lots on mini attractions from roller-coaster, carousell, and even haunted house! Good food (hint: the takoyaki's delicious) and amenities. Rides are kind of short average around 40 seconds to 1 minute but if you have kids bring them here! They will love the compact mini theme park environment. Entry ticket is 1000 yen for adults and 600 yen for children. Each ride ticket costs 100 yen and certain rides requires 3 or more tickets.

Visited on a Wednesday and wasn’t busy at all. Hardly to no wait times to go on rides. Between each ride, staff members disinfected the seats and hand rails and also ensured you use the alcohol spray before entering each time. Admission is ¥1000 and doesn’t include tickets for each ride. There is a free pass for an additional ¥2500, otherwise most rides are ¥300 a go or ¥600 for the larger ones like the roller coaster. The park being the oldest in Japan, it’s definitely something to check out and you can easily spend an hour or two here. The helicars and sky ships provide great views of Skytree and Asakusa and the roller coaster is only a 1 minute and 30 second ride but has got a little more “umph” than you would expect ? Food wise there aren’t many options, I recommend venturing out of the park and into the shopping arcades around the area for some really great traditional cuisine and delicious deserts! Overall I had a really great time that I forgot to take photos, so that should give you a good indication!

It’s a small amusement park next to Sensoji Temple. We went on a weekday and no queue at all. We managed to finish all the rides within 1.5 hrs and we had lots of fun. It’s very nostalgic amusement park. The staff there are friendly and professional although not many people on that day.

We had a enjoyable morning in this vintage playground, although the rides are old but they are still energetic, kids can play most of the ride and feels happy with them. It is more effort-able to buy a "unlimited hand band" for kid and buying ticket book ($1000yen for 11tickets) for adults.

It is a small park but there are many rides. The entrance is 1000 yen for adult and 500 yen for kids above 6 years. After entering the park you have two options; either buy 100 yen tickets (each ride needs specific number of these) or you can take one day pass which costs 2500 yen for adult, 2300 yen for middle school, 2000 yen for kids between 2 to 4 years old. An adult can accommodate a kid for free in the rides. I would highly recommend taking a day pass as in the end it will be much cost effective. Both adults and kids enjoy very well here and it is one of our favorite parks in Tokyo. The rides are well maintained and the staffs are very accommodating. Both kids and adults enjoy alike in this park. There is a dance show organized at 3pm in this place. If you have kids do not miss it as they enjoy very well. We usually go there in the morning and stay till evening and you can go and back the same day if you have a day pass so multiple entries allowed. There are many small shops that sell both snacks, food and ice creams. Also there are multiple vending machines and is convenient. The park looks slightly cramped though but I would say it is a moving crowd and one can enjoy very well. One can see other rides close by when riding on something which looks fun in my opinion. If you can take off one a weekday I would say go for it because you can ride a lot of times the same ride as there is less crowd. There is a roller coaster in the park that is enjoyable for both kids and adults and unlike other parks this one is very friendly and you want to ride it multiple times. Asakusa shrine and shopping streets are nearby so an evening shopping after exiting the park is a good feeling. Hope this helps, enjoy and have fun.

The place is very good comparing to be old. Most of the attraction ate more interesting than others found in famous place. Being small in size make it easier to approach all attractions and repeat the interesting ones. Also some positions have a nice resting places and good view for Tokyo tower.
