About Asakusa Hanayashiki Ticket
Asakusa Hanayashiki was originally a flower garden when it opened in 1853 — its name means "public flower garden" — and there is still a small pond garden with an ornamental bridge on the grounds today. But the park has evolved across 170 years into something far more extraordinary: a beloved, compact, and deeply nostalgic amusement park that packs roller coasters, horror houses, festival stalls, Ferris wheels, giant panda cars, shooting galleries, and food vendors into just 5,800 square metres of retro Asakusa charm — creating an experience that is unlike anything else in Tokyo and unlike anything available at a major theme park.
The legendary roller coaster — running since 1953 — is the park's most famous single attraction, winding through the compact grounds with old-fashioned charm and just enough speed to delight riders of all ages. The newest major attraction is the Haunted House: The Curse of Kubizuka, which opened in 2025 and replaces the beloved Edo Test of Courage with a deeply atmospheric Japanese-style horror experience based on Edo-period ghost stories. The Disk'O delivers high-speed spinning and centrifugal force thrills that make impressive use of the park's limited space. The Panorama Time Travel four-screen attraction takes visitors through Asakusa's past and present. Giant panda cars available for self-piloting across the grounds are a favourite for families with young children, and the Maruhana festival stalls and arcades provide a classic Japanese festival atmosphere that is authentically nostalgic rather than artificially themed.
Hanayashiki offers two ticket options — an admission-only ticket (with individual ride tickets purchasable inside) or a combined admission and unlimited ride Free Pass for visitors who want to enjoy everything without counting costs. The park is perfectly sized for a half-day visit and is an essential complement to a trip to Senso-ji Temple, which is just a 3-minute walk from the park's entrance.

Insiders' Tips
The park is a 3-minute walk from Senso-ji Temple — combine both in a single Asakusa morning for the most rewarding experience. The roller coaster and Disk'O are the most popular rides and attract the longest waits later in the day — head to these first on arrival. Note that the Roller Coaster and Sky Ship rides are currently under extended suspension — confirm current ride availability on the official Hanayashiki website before visiting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Asakusa Hanayashiki?
Asakusa Hanayashiki is Japan's oldest amusement park — first opened in 1853 at the end of the Edo period and still operating beside Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa. Covering just 5,800 square metres, the park packs over 20 rides, festival stalls, shooting galleries, a haunted house, food vendors, and Japan's oldest working roller coaster (running since 1953) into a compact and deeply nostalgic space unlike any other amusement park in Tokyo.
What is the difference between the Admission Only ticket and the Free Pass at Hanayashiki?
The Admission Only ticket grants entry to the park grounds, food vendors, festival stalls, and arcades — individual ride tickets must be purchased separately inside the park at the Ticket House. The Free Pass combines park admission with unlimited ride access for the full day, and is the best value option for visitors who want to experience the rides freely without calculating per-ride costs.
What is the Hanayashiki roller coaster?
The Hanayashiki roller coaster has been running continuously since 1953 — making it Japan's oldest operating roller coaster and one of the most iconic and beloved attractions at the park. It winds through the compact Hanayashiki grounds with old-fashioned charm and enough speed to delight both young children and adults looking for a taste of vintage Japanese amusement park culture. Note that the roller coaster is currently under extended suspension — confirm its operational status on the official website before visiting.
What is the new Haunted House at Asakusa Hanayashiki?
The Haunted House: The Curse of Kubizuka opened in 2025 as the replacement for the long-running Edo Test of Courage attraction. The new haunted house is a deeply atmospheric Japanese-style horror experience based on Edo-period ghost stories, building on the park's historical setting in Asakusa to create an immersive fear experience that connects with the ancient and mysterious history of the neighbourhood.
What is the Disk'O attraction at Asakusa Hanayashiki?
Disk'O is one of Hanayashiki's most thrilling modern rides — a high-speed spinning attraction where riders experience intense centrifugal force and shaking as the vehicle swings back and forth while rotating. It makes impressive use of the park's compact space and is consistently one of the most popular rides in the park for older children and adults seeking more intense thrills.
Is Asakusa Hanayashiki suitable for young children?
Yes — Hanayashiki is one of the most family-friendly and child-accessible amusement parks in Tokyo, with many rides suitable for very young children and a compact, easy-to-navigate layout. Children aged 0 to 3 enter free when accompanied by an adult aged 13 or above, and the panda cars, festival stalls, and gentler rides are perfectly calibrated for younger visitors experiencing an amusement park for the first time.
How does Asakusa Hanayashiki compare to major Tokyo theme parks?
Hanayashiki cannot compete with Disneyland or Universal Studios in scale or spectacle — but that is entirely beside the point. The park's unique charm lies in its compact retro atmosphere, its 170-year history, its position in the heart of traditional Asakusa beside Senso-ji Temple, and its genuinely nostalgic character that provides an authentic taste of Japanese popular entertainment culture rather than an internationally branded theme park experience. It is typically half a day rather than a full day — and it consistently delivers one of the most characterful and memorable experiences available in the city.
Where is Asakusa Hanayashiki and how close is it to Senso-ji Temple?
Asakusa Hanayashiki is at 2-28-1 Asakusa, Taito-ku — directly beside Senso-ji Temple on the west side of the temple grounds, just 3 minutes on foot from the main hall. The combination of Senso-ji, Nakamise Shopping Street, and Hanayashiki makes for a perfectly balanced full Asakusa morning covering ancient religious architecture, traditional street food, and historic Japanese amusement park culture in a single walk.
Are there food options inside Asakusa Hanayashiki?
Yes — Hanayashiki has multiple food vendors and dining options throughout the compact park serving Japanese festival favourites including takoyaki, tempura, ramen, monjayaki, kushiyaki, hot dogs, crepes, popcorn, and gelato. A year-round barbecue garden is also available inside the park. Outside food is permitted in the park — visitors can use the benches and tables throughout the grounds for picnicking.
Do I need to book Asakusa Hanayashiki tickets in advance?
Advance booking is recommended, particularly during peak Tokyo tourism seasons, Japanese public holidays, and summer and Halloween events when the park is at its busiest. Booking through Thrillark saves up to 15% on the standard rate with instant confirmation. Always check the official Hanayashiki website before visiting to confirm the current ride availability, operating hours, and maintenance closures for your chosen date.
