The top-ranked attractions span from Hokkaido in the north to Kyushu in the south, featuring well-known spots. But did you notice? The number one spot isn’t Disney! Without further ado, let’s explore what makes the top five so impressive!

The top spot goes to the famous Osaka theme park, Universal Studios Japan. Known for its unique themed areas and seasonal events, it attracts many repeat visitors who come back for new experiences. Super Nintendo World, which opened in 2021, has been a massive hit, often requiring Area Timed Entry Tickets or Area Entry Numbered Tickets/Lottery Tickets due to its popularity. In late 2024, the Donkey Kong Country area will be added, making Universal Studios Japan a constantly evolving attraction. Don't miss the 360° Full Splash! Special Area event in July—if you haven't experienced it yet, now's the time to dive in!

Opening in June 2024, the Tokyo Warner Bros. Studio Tour: The Making of Harry Potter celebrates its first anniversary. As the second immersive experience based on the Harry Potter series worldwide, the park perfectly recreates the universe of the beloved books and films. Visitors can instantly feel like Hogwarts students as they explore Platform 9¾, Diagon Alley, the Forbidden Forest, the Hogwarts Great Hall, Gryffindor Common Room, and Dumbledore's office. Enjoy the magical scenes and cuisine from the series, and even purchase a wand to enhance the memories. Whether you're a Harry Potter fan or not, the Tokyo Warner Bros. Studio Tour is a must-visit to experience the magic.

Tokyo Disneyland®, which introduced the new Beauty and the Beast area in 2020, is the first Disney theme park outside of the United States and the first in Asia, having opened on April 15, 1983. In 2024, it celebrates its 41st anniversary! The park features various themed areas, each with unique attractions and interactive experiences. Seasonal performances and events add to the excitement. One of the highlights is Halloween, when visitors can dress up as Disney characters and fully immerse themselves in the Disney world, making dreams of becoming a princess or prince come true for both adults and children.

Tokyo Disney Sea®, which opened on September 4, 2001, is the world's only Disney theme park themed around ocean exploration. Compared to Tokyo Disneyland, its attractions are a bit more thrilling, making it an ideal place for adults to relive their childhood. In June 6, 2024, Tokyo Disney Sea® unveiled the new Fantasy Springs area, featuring beloved childhood animations such as Peter Pan, Frozen, and Tangled. This exciting addition makes the park even more enticing, making you want to stay forever and never go home!

The striking red HEP FIVE Ferris Wheel, located within the HEP FIVE shopping complex in Umeda, stands at approximately 106 meters tall. Each cabin can accommodate up to four people. While strollers cannot be brought into the cabins, they can be left at the boarding area, making it accessible for families with small children. Offering exclusive views of Umeda's cityscape, the HEP FIVE Ferris Wheel completes one rotation in about 15 minutes. With air-conditioned cabins, it provides a comfortable ride year-round. For a unique experience in Osaka, don't miss the HEP FIVE Ferris Wheel!

In addition to its classic attractions like shrines and hot springs, Japan boasts many incredible theme parks where you can escape the daily grind, rediscover your inner child, and rekindle your dreams.
