Have you been to Tokyo, Japan during the summer? If so, you know just how hot the summers can get. If you’re looking to get a break from the heat while still taking in all of the unique culture the city has to offer, you have to check out these indoor amusement parks. Perfect for adults and kids, these parks have unique characters and fun rides, sure to bring some excitement into your vacation. Here are three of Tokyo’s best indoor theme parks.
Joypolis
Located in Odaiba, Tokyo, Joypolis has three flours of Sega’s virtual reality attractions. In total there are 21 rides and activities, most of which are available in English. From rafting and hang-glider flying over tropical islands to having laser gun fights and fighting zombies, this park will keep you busy.
Legoland Discovery Center
This Legoland isn’t as big as the ones in California or Denmark, but it’s still just as fun for Lego fans. There are two rides: one at Kingdom Quest where you rescue a princess by zapping trolls and skeletons from a chariot and one at Merlin’s Apprentice Ride where you join a fantasy world and try to become the wizard’s apprentice by conjuring magic. In addition, you can tour the Lego factory, look at a diorama of Tokyo, and watch a film at the 4D cinema.
Sanrio Puroland
Fans of Hello Kitty and friends have to visit this theme park where you can see a kabuki-style Hello Kitty musical, explore Hello Kitty’s mansion, and take photos with her. Gudetama fans can enter into the character’s world with bowling and dancing games. Sanrio Puroland even has four restaurants with themed items.
