Fuji-Q Highland is one of Japan's premier amusement parks, set at the foot of Mount Fuji in Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi Prefecture, and famous for its record-breaking scream coasters. Alongside thrill rides such as Fujiyama, Eejanaika, and the 121-degree-drop Takabisha, riders enjoy sweeping views of Mount Fuji on clear days. Anime-themed attractions and a children's zone, Thomas Land, make it enjoyable across all ages.
Fujiyama: the park's signature coaster (approx. 130 km/h), once the world's tallest and fastest when it opened in 1996
Takabisha: a Guinness-recognized coaster with a 121-degree drop, among the steepest in the world
Eejanaika: a 4th-dimension coaster with rotating seats and numerous inversions
Super Scary Labyrinth of Fear: a large walk-through haunted-hospital attraction taking roughly 50 minutes

Good to know
RulesPark admission is free, but riding attractions requires individual tickets or a Free Pass (One Day Pass). Pricing is dynamic and varies by date, so check the official site for the latest fares before visiting.
RulesMajor coasters have height and age limits. On Fujiyama, guests under 110 cm cannot ride, 110-130 cm must be accompanied by a junior-high student or older, and guests over 65 or who are pregnant may be barred. Confirm current criteria.
RulesSome popular attractions, including the Labyrinth of Fear haunted house, are NOT covered by the Free Pass and need a separate fee (pass holders get a discount). Verify the latest pricing and inclusions.
SeasonThe big coasters (Fujiyama, Takabisha, etc.) are shut down for safety at even slight wind or rain. Signature rides may be suspended in poor weather, so check same-day operating status.
SeasonMount Fuji is clearest in winter (especially February) and on weekday mornings; summer afternoon haze and clouds often hide it. Winter high-speed rides bring severe wind chill, so dress warmly.
SafetyLoose-item rules before boarding are strict. To prevent falling objects, phones, glasses and bags must go in designated lockers; follow the staff safety pre-show instructions.
