On Day 8 of our vacation,we decided to make a visit to Hanayashiki Amusement Park in Asakusa. The park is just a few hundred metres away from our hotel that we always stay in whenever we are in Tokyo but prior to this visit, we only passed by the amusement park.
Hanayashiki is the oldest amusement park in Japan, having been in operation since 1853!
Admission to the park is not exactly cheap, if you plan to spend the day trying out all the rides there. Admission for adult is 900yen (400yen for children) and going on the rides you can either choose to buy the free pass (2,200yen adult & 1,900yen child) or buy coupon tickets (11 coupons for 1,000yen or 1 coupon for 100yen). We got ourselves free passes because we intend to get on as many rides as possible.
A rickety roller coaster. It might not be all that fast or do any 360 degrees loop but the thrill was still there. I think the thrill comes from the fear of bumping into somehing or whether the roller coaster would fall off at any point than anything else. LOL
Yeay! We sure had fun there.
More photos of the park later. Stay tuned if you are interested. :D
