Hanayashiki's Roller Coaster

Ever been to Hanayashiki Amusement Park when you are in Tokyo (or Asakusa to be exact)? No?
This park has been in business since 1853! It didn't start out as a amusement park but as a flower park though.
The park has a roller coaster that it claims to be the oldest in Japan. Sure was a rickety ride. I think the thrill came from the feeling whether the coaster might disintegrate while we were zooming down. Kidding!

Don't forget to wave back to the nice "obasan" waving at you from that brown apartment.
Standing directly underneath the roller coaster track.
If you want to see how a park fully utilise every single inch of space, come to Hanayashiki. They sure know how to utilise all the space they have. So what under the roller coaster track? Festival style game stalls. Throw a shuriken and win a prize, anyone?
