Nasu Highland Park

Set among the trees below Mt. Nasu, Nasu Highland Park is the Kanto countryside’s big, cheerful amusement park — a place where roller-coaster screams ricochet off the forest and families spend the whole day chasing rides.

Why It’s Interesting

It packs in roughly ten roller coasters, from family-friendly loops to spinning, plunging thrill machines, alongside dozens of other rides and a zip-line adventure forest. The wooded, highland setting sets it apart from city parks — you queue under real trees with mountain air and, on clear days, views toward the volcano. It’s unpretentious, energetic fun, and the anchor of a Nasu trip for anyone traveling with kids (or a squirrel who loves to scream “YEAH!”).

Best Time to Visit

Open most of the year; spring through autumn is most comfortable, and some attractions pause in deep winter — check the seasonal calendar.

Getting There

Seasonal direct buses run from Kuroiso and Nasushiobara stations, or drive and use the large parking lot.
