Traveler reviews
Very fun rides, especially for thrill seekers. We were very blessed with a lovely view of Fuji san almost all day. Check out the ferris wheel for a nice viewpoint!
However, the ride queues closed very early in comparison to the park hours. For reference, we tried to join the queue for 2 different coasters at about 4:15pm and both had closed the queues for the day. (The park closes at 6pm promptly). If there is an attraction you really want to ride, make it a priority early in the day.
We especially loved the 4th dimension coaster with 14 spins (a Guinness world record!)
Holy hippopotamus hecking smokes. These coasters here are some of the biggest and fastest in the world, but they’re surprisingly smooth, honestly better than what you’ll find at Disney or Universal. It’s way more affordable too.
Since entry is free and you can just pay for what you want or grab a day pass if you're hitting more than three rides.
The park isn't as "pretty" or themed as Disney, but it's practical. We stayed at a hostel two minutes away and got to the gates by 9:30 AM for the 10:00 AM opening. We walked to Eejanaika with a 10-minute wait, but by the time we got off, the line was already at 50 minutes. Even in January, the big rides like Takabisha and Zokkon stayed around an hour wait. Paying 2000 yen for a fast pass to skip the line was a great call, you go straight to the front, just the experience of walk pass everyone lining up and seeing how frustrated they were was worth it👌
Just don’t lose that physical fast-pass ticket. My mate lost his, which held us back a cycle and we lost all our aura. We had just spent the morning laughing while walking past everyone straight onto the rides. My mate decided he would lose it inside his jacket, so we were stuck waiting right next to the people we’d just bypassed. It was a little awkward, kind of like seeing your ex in public when you're both stuck in the same grocery store line.
The food was actually quality, not the cheap, greasy stuff you’d expect at a theme park. They even have vegan ramen and curry at the Food Stadium. A big plus is that the day pass lets you leave and come back later, so we went back to the room for a bit and returned at night. The safety checks can feel slow, but they’re thorough, which is fine when you’re on rides this intense. Definitely worth the money.
I always wanted to come here and ride the 4 monster.
My top is
1. FUJIYAMA
2. Eejanaika
3. Zokkon
4. Takabisha 121°
Got lucky enough to experience a clear view of Mt. Fuji while riding.
The food was great.
I only purchased about 2 fast pass tickets overall did less than 20 mins of line.
No wait time to enter even if i got there after 10am, had the chance to walk and experience all the park and ride the 4 rides i wanted.
I'm hopping to come back soon.
Roller Coaster Haven !!!
The roller coaster rides here are not for the faint hearted but they are all so so good!!! This is a must visit for all roller coaster buffs …
Come during weekends for a bit of crowd (not crazy like Disney, very manageable queues).
Carpark is available - 2000 yen. Buses also bring tourists to Fuji-Q.
The park is very focused on safety and briefings are provided before each ride. We appreciated that!
Lots of food options here !
The best amusement park in the world!! Not even kidding…. I love good roller coasters and The big rides here were actually scary ! But also being able to see the views of Mount Fuji before you drop into one of the worlds scariest roller coaster is also surreal !
