Yomiuriland Amusement Park
Last updated: September 13, 2026
Yomiuriland spreads 43 attractions over the green hills on Tokyo's western edge, striking the classic amusement-park balance between thrill and charm. The Bandit is the headline — 1,560 metres of coaster hitting 110 km/h over the treetops — while the giant Ferris wheel takes the same landscape at a stroll, and sea lions steal the show in between. The park changes costume with the calendar: cherry blossoms wash over the rides in spring, pools open for summer, and from autumn the hills glow with one of the Tokyo area's grandest illumination displays.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ride the Keio Sagamihara Line to Keio-Yomiuri-Land Station — about 25 minutes from Shinjuku with a change at Chofu — then take the Sky Shuttle gondola, which floats over the wooded hills straight into the park. The gondola ride's treetop views make it the recommended approach over the bus.
The Bandit is the one everyone comes for: 1,560 metres of track reaching 110 km/h, running out over the hillside forest rather than a flat lot. The giant Ferris wheel gives the gentler version of the same view — on clear days it reaches across the city — and the remaining 40-odd attractions range from proper coasters to rides small children can board.
Quite a lot — it's a park worth revisiting. Spring lines the hills with cherry blossoms, summer opens the adjoining pool complex, and from autumn through winter the park stages its famous jewel-themed illumination, when millions of lights turn the whole hillside into an evening destination of its own.
