Reviews from Real Guests:
nekoshuke: I go every year, but the city is really beautiful and you can enjoy day and night. The illumination is beautiful and you can see seasonal flowers. The park is very large, so it is convenient to move while cruise and move by bicycle. The food is a bit high. VR attractions are also rich, and I am glad to enjoy it even in the rain.
RIE: You can spend a lot of fireworks, pools, etc. from attractions, and you can spend it slowly! If you are a hotel in the park, you can go out immediately and the fireworks at night are also nearby designated seats, so you don't need to line up. Everyone can enjoy it from family to lovers!
