What it's like here
Fuji-Q Highland is an amusement park set at the base of Mount Fuji in Fujiyoshida, where world-class roller coasters and thrilling rides share the landscape with Japan's most iconic mountain. Since opening in 1968, the park has become known for attractions that push the limits of speed and intensity—a place where the roar of coasters and screams of riders mix with views of the serene, snow-capped peak rising behind the rides.
The park's heart is its collection of six roller coasters, each with its own superlative claim. Fujiyama once held the record as the world's tallest; Eejanaika is a fourth-dimension coaster whose seats rotate 360 degrees in controlled spins, inverting 14 times despite the track inverting only three; Takabisha opened as the world's steepest roller coaster. Whether you're chasing pure adrenaline or soaking in the surreal contrast between cutting-edge machines and ancient geology, these rides deliver intensity.
Beyond the coasters, Fuji-Q Highland offers 26 attractions in total, blending thrills with family experiences. Thomas Land provides a children's area themed around Thomas the Tank Engine, while themed zones celebrate anime and manga including GeGeGe no Kitarō, Naruto, and Attack on Titan. Two haunted attractions—the Haunted Hospital and Hopeless Fortress—add a darker edge to the day. The park also features rides like the Red Tower drop tower, river rapids, and spinning attractions that appeal to different ages and adrenaline tolerances.
Facilities support a full day of adventure: parking, toilets, cafés, baby-changing areas, and lockers mean you can settle in and stay. Photography is welcome, so you can capture the mountain views and your own triumphant (or terrified) moments on the rides. The park welcomes solo visitors, couples, families, and groups of friends, and operates mornings through evenings, with both indoor and outdoor attractions available across seasons.
