Must‑Ride Attractions in the Park:

Hakugei

Hakugei is actually the Japanese word for "White Whale", and it is Asia's first steel‑wood hybrid roller coaster! Made of white wood with some steel parts, it features complex twists and turns. With a total length of 1,530 metres, a maximum height of 55 metres, and a top speed of 170 km/h, roller coaster fans, come and experience it now!

Steel Dragon 2000

Steel Dragon 2000 is the world's longest and second tallest roller coaster! The entire ride lasts 3 minutes and 12 seconds, reaching a top speed of 153 km/h! This ride only secures your body with a triangular restraint at the front of your waist. Your hands are completely free, and your feet are designed to dangle, pushing the limits of the human body!

Arashi

Arashi means "storm" in Japanese. This is Japan's 4th 4D roller coaster! In addition to boasting "rapid acceleration, rapid drops, and weightlessness", your seat itself spins wildly 360°, making the trajectory unpredictable. Who will be the next brave soul?

Flying Coaster Acrobat

Acrobat is a flying roller coaster with prone (face‑down) seats. It continuously performs 360‑degree flips throughout the ride, and even plunges down from a height of 43 metres, making you feel like you are actually flying! Just imagining it is thrilling!

Onsen and Accommodation Recommendations

Nagashima Spa Land is great for a day trip, but if you want to relax, staying overnight is also a good option. I have tried both ways.

Onsen Facilities: There is the "Yunoshima Onsen" inside the park, with an entry ticket of 1,500 yen. I recommend soaking in the hot spring after playing on the rides to relieve fatigue. The onsen area has a lounge, but it comes at an extra charge.

Accommodation Recommendations: Nearby, there is the "Nagashima Hotel", with rates starting from around 15,000 yen per night, including breakfast and onsen entry. I have stayed there once; the service was decent, but the rooms were a bit dated and the soundproofing was average. Another option is "Mitsui Garden Hotel", which is pricier but has newer facilities.

Planning Tips: For day‑trippers, arrive early and leave late, focusing on the rides; for those staying overnight, enjoy the rides on the first day, then soak in the onsen and browse the nearby outlet mall on the second day.

Food Guide

There are plenty of dining options inside the park, but prices are slightly higher. Here are a few recommendations, along with my personal thoughts.

Ramen Shop "Ryū no Su" (Dragon's Nest): Located in the centre of the park, the soy sauce ramen costs 850 yen and has a rich broth. The queue can be long, so avoid the lunch rush. I found that after 3pm, there are fewer people.

Curry Rice "Spice Garden": Family‑friendly, with curry rice starting from 700 yen. The taste is average, but it fills you up. Plenty of seats, good for a rest.

Snack Stalls: There are yakisoba, ice cream, and more. Yakisoba is 500 yen with generous portions. But ice cream melts quickly, so be careful in summer.

Bringing your own water and snacks can save money, but outside food is not allowed inside the park, so keep it low‑key. I brought a water bottle and refilled it in the rest area without any problems.

Nagashima Spa Land FAQ

Q1: What is included in this package?

A1: It includes round‑trip bus tickets from Osaka to Nagashima Spa Land, as well as a 1‑Day Park Pass for Nagashima Spa Land, allowing unlimited rides on most regular attractions (excluding certain special paid attractions).

Q2: Where is the meeting point? How early should I arrive?

A2: The meeting point is at a convenient transport hub in Osaka city centre (e.g., Namba/Umeda; please refer to the final voucher). Please arrive at the meeting point at least 15 minutes in advance. The bus departs on time and will not wait for latecomers.

Q3: Will the park open if the weather is bad on the day?

A3: In case of light rain, the park usually opens as normal, but some outdoor high‑altitude thrill rides may be temporarily closed for safety reasons. If the bus service is suspended or the park is closed due to heavy rain or typhoons, we will process a full refund for you.

Q4: What attractions are suitable for children at Nagashima Spa Land? Any special considerations?

A4: There is a "Kids Paradise" area in the park, designed for young children, featuring rides like a carousel and a mini train. However, some thrill rides have height restrictions, such as Steel Dragon 2000 which requires a height of 140cm or above. It is recommended to grab a map upon entry to check. Also, the onsen area has family baths, but reservations are required.

Q5: Can the onsen at Nagashima Spa Land be used separately? Is a reservation required?

A5: Yes, you can purchase an onsen entry ticket (1,500 yen) to use the hot spring facilities without needing a park ticket. The onsen area is within the park and accessed via a specific entrance; it is best to check the official website first. Reservations are generally not required, but on holidays and weekends it can get crowded and you may need to queue.

Q6: How can I avoid long queues? Is there a fast pass?

Head straight to popular rides like Steel Dragon 2000 when the park opens, or use the fast pass (available at an additional cost, around 1,000 yen per ride). Visiting on non‑holiday weekdays can also reduce waiting time. I noticed that after 2pm, queues for some rides are shorter, but popular ones still have long lines.

Q7: Are there any shopping areas near Nagashima Spa Land? Is it worth visiting?

A7: Yes, next to the park is the "Mitsui Outlet Park", which has many brands and is great for shopping. But watch the time; the outlet is open until 8pm even after the park closes, so you can arrange a visit. I suggest going shopping on the second day if you are staying overnight; otherwise, a day trip will be tight on time.

Q8: Is parking convenient for self‑driving? What are the charges?

A8: The park has parking lots, but parking spaces are hard to find on holidays and weekends, so it is best to set off early. Parking costs around 1,000 yen per day. Self‑driving offers more flexibility, but expressway tolls in Japan are high; from Nagoya, the toll is around 2,000 yen, so budget accordingly. The car park is a short walk from the park entrance, about 5 minutes on foot.
