This amusement park, located right next to the Japanese F1 circuit, is perfect for family outings, offering a variety of racing-themed activities, especially for children. Remember to book your track challenge in advance, otherwise tickets may be sold out on the day of the event or even just a few days in advance.

The aquarium, though small, was definitely worth a visit. The tickets were also inexpensive. The kids saw mermaids, sea otters, walruses, and other species they don't usually see, and even got to see penguins walking up close. We adults even touched an octopus, which was a lot of fun. We bought a lot of souvenirs, even though they were a bit pricey, because they were all so cute. We especially loved the gashapon toys we won! Note that the line for the sea otters is very long; we waited 40 minutes even on a weekday. Once you get in, the time to see them is too short, and there's no time to queue again. I recommend arriving early, just as it opens. We arrived after 11 am, which was a bit late. The entire visit, from entry to closing time, is still very fulfilling.
