Tokyo Dome City

In the heart of Tokyo, close to the Tokyo Dome, lies a place called Tokyo Dome City. Although the park reopened in 2003 as a component of the Tokyo Dome City entertainment complex, which also includes the Tokyo Dome Hotel and a hot spring spa facility, it was originally known as Korakuen when it first opened in 1955.

The park's two primary attractions are a roller coaster and a ferris wheel. You can take a 15-minute ride on a centerless (!) Big-O Ferris wheel and sing along inside your gondola while enjoying lovely city views. At a high speed of 130 km/h, the Thunder Dolphin roller coaster travels through a building's hall and the hub of the Ferris wheel.

You feel like you're floating between the buildings because it runs so close to the structures. Live performances of Japanese idol groups, popular children's TV series, or anime characters are frequently held in the park. Short distance from Kasuga station, Korakuen station, and Suidobashi station (6min).
