Overview

Fuji-Q Highland is a world-renowned amusement park situated at the base of Mount Fuji, famous for its record-breaking steel roller coasters. The park features four major high-speed coasters, including Eejanaika, a 4th-dimension coaster with rotating seats, and Takabisha, which holds a record for its 121-degree beyond-vertical drop. Fujiyama, a 'King of Coasters' hypercoaster, offers views of Mount Fuji from its highest point. The park also houses unique themed attractions like the Evangelion World and the Haunted Hospital, one of the world's longest and most elaborate haunted attractions. It operates as an outdoor theme park, meaning ride availability is heavily influenced by wind speeds and weather conditions at the mountain base. Visitors can navigate the park's distinct zones, which combine mechanical thrill rides with anime-inspired media experiences.
