is an amusement park located near Tokyo in Tokorozawa, Saitama Prefecture. It is just outside the Seibuen-yūenchi Station, which is also owned and operated by the Seibu Railway. The park underwent a significant expansion and redesign for the 2021 season, focused around a Showa era themed marketplace, a Godzilla motion simulator attraction, and a children's area based on the work of Osamu Tezuka.[2] Currently, an Ultraman attraction is in development for the 2023 season.[3]

Attractions

Certain attractions are closed during rainy weather.[1] The park charges a separate admittance fee for each attraction. However, a one-day free ticket is available, which includes admission and unlimited rides on most attractions.

In the evening, portions of the park are illuminated.[4]
