About

Yomiuri Land is a versatile amusement park in Tokyo's outskirts, famous for its thrilling 'Bandit' roller coaster and family-friendly 'Goodjoba!!' craft-making zone. It offers spectacular seasonal transformations, featuring stunning cherry blossoms in spring and one of Tokyo's most massive, jewel-toned winter illumination displays. Expect a nostalgic yet modern park experience with great views of Mount Fuji on clear days.

What Japanese guides note

Visitors arriving by train often confuse Keio-Yomiuri-Land Station with Odakyu's Yomiuri-Land-mae Station; only the Keio station provides direct access to the Sky Shuttle ropeway. Those traveling on foot face an uphill climb via 283 concrete stairs, making the ropeway or connecting buses practical for visitors carrying luggage or pushing strollers. Japanese guides advise purchasing tickets in advance through the Yomi-Ran CLUB website to bypass morning ticket booth queues and secure discounted admission.

Frequently asked

Which station should I use to ride the Sky Shuttle gondola?

Keio-Yomiuri-Land Station on the Keio Sagamihara Line connects directly to the Sky Shuttle gondola station. Yomiuri-Land-mae Station on the Odakyu Odawara Line does not connect to the gondola; from there, visitors must take an Odakyu bus for roughly 10 minutes to reach the park's front entrance.

Is the Sky Shuttle gondola included in the One-Day Pass?

No, the Sky Shuttle gondola is excluded from all admission passes, including the One-Day Pass and After Pass. A separate ticket is required, costing ¥300 for a one-way trip or ¥500 for a round-trip ticket purchased at the gondola ticket vending machines.

Can I access the adjacent HANA-BIYORI botanical garden with my ticket?

Yes, holders of a standard One-Day Pass can enter the adjacent HANA・BIYORI botanical park at no additional cost. However, visitors must enter exclusively through the internal connecting passageway located inside the amusement park, rather than through HANA・BIYORI's separate exterior public gate.
