You’ll jump straight into Tokyo’s playful side with unlimited access to Yomiuriland’s rides and quirky attractions. Feel your heart race on Bandit, snack on street food under cherry blossoms or neon lights, and wander through hands-on zones with locals. It’s a day full of simple joys — laughter echoing around you — that’ll stick long after you leave.
The first thing I noticed was the sound — not just the roller coasters rattling overhead, but kids shrieking in Japanese, the kind of laughter that makes you smile even if you don’t know what’s so funny. We’d barely made it past the entrance when our guide, Emi, handed us our Yomiuriland tickets and pointed out where to stash our bags (lockers everywhere, super easy). The air smelled like caramel popcorn and something fried, maybe those potato spirals? I tried to ask a vendor for one but definitely messed up the pronunciation — he just grinned and handed me two.
We made a beeline for Bandit, which is apparently famous among Tokyo locals. It’s fast — like wind-in-your-face, can’t-hear-yourself-scream fast. My friend lost her hat on the first drop (she still blames me), and we spent ten minutes after just catching our breath and watching Mount Fuji peek through the clouds in the distance. Didn’t expect that view from an amusement park. In between rides, Emi showed us “Goodjoba!!” — it’s this whole area about how stuff gets made in Japan. There were kids building toy cars with their parents; honestly, I wish we’d had more time there.
By late afternoon, the park started to glow — literally. The Jewellumination lights flickered on one by one, turning everything pink and blue and gold. I stood there with my hands still sticky from cotton candy, just staring at it all. You know that feeling when you’re sort of tired but happy? That was me right then. We didn’t do every ride (the Ferris wheel isn’t on the day pass), but it didn’t matter much.
