Fuji-Q Highland

This amusement park in Yamanashi Prefecture is famous for its attractions with various thrill rides. Among them is Fujiyama, known as the king of coasters. It is one of the world's largest roller coasters with a maximum speed of 130 km/h, a maximum drop of 70 meters, and a maximum height of 79 meters. There are also other thrill rides such as Takabisha, Eejanaika, and Dodonpa. Even if you are not a fan of thrill rides, you can enjoy the big Ferris wheel, which affords stunning vistas of Mt. Fuji and the entire park, the gorgeous carousel, and the swing ride, which lets you feel the breeze. There is also the Town of Gaspard and Lisa (La villa de Gaspard et Lisa), which is the world's first theme park of the popular French-born characters Gaspard and Lisa. It is a place where children and adults can enjoy. You can go there by taking the JR Chuo Line to the Otsuki Station, switch trains to the Fujikyuko Line, and get off at the Fuji-Q Highland Station.
