Ikoma Sanjo Amusement Park is located at the top of Mt. Ikoma at an elevation of 642 meters. This Compact and charming amusement park is home to some iconic attractions like the “Cycle Monorail” an aerial cycling experience like no other, the Puka Puka Panda Sky Train - a monorail which circles over a large portion of the park and the 30m high airplane tower - Japan's oldest existing large-scale amusement ride.
In addition to its wide range of rides and attractions - from retro arcades to modern virtual reality rides, the park’s soaring elevation treats you to wonderful views, making it appealing to people of all ages and persuasions.
The park, built in 1929, offers you clear unhindered views the Nara Basin and the Osaka plain. On clear days it’s also possible to see as far as Awaji Island and the Akashi-kaikyo bridge in Hyogo prefecture.
During the summer months the park stays open until the late evening - so it’s also a great place for couples to enjoy a romantic evening with stunning views of the Osaka nightscape.
Part of the thrill of visiting for young children is riding the cute cablecars from Kintetsu Ikoma Station to the top of the mountain. The final cable car station is right in front of the entrance to the park where you will be pleasantly surprised to see that there is no entry fee - instead you will need to pay for each ride individually.
The pricing system offers you several options from buying individual ticket rides to ticket books or day passes. There are however, a few attractions that require cash payments not covered by day passes so you’ll need to have a bit of cash on hand.
Within the grounds is also the extremely popular "PLAY PEAK ITADAKI," Japan’s largest playground supervised by the renowned toy company "Bornelund". Attraction here include a sky terrace, cafe, water park and obstacle course - all geared towards fostering a sense of fun and curiosity in children aged 1 and up.
Ikoma Sanjo Amusement Park may lack the razzle dazzle of Tokyo Disney Land or USJ, but the retro feel and wholesome family appeal is what makes it so special - a great day out for the family.
