Japanese amusement park perfect for young and old and even in winter. The activities offered are simple but terribly fun (throwing shuriken, cooking pancakes, Japanese wooden games, etc.) and when you get there you receive a small present. For shows, the ninja one is at the top of the list. And the city of Shiragawa is calling us back. Be careful, however, if you leave Tokyo by train without speaking Japanese, you have to hang on, but luckily we always find someone to help us here.

There are plenty of activities for kids to enjoy - the Ninja training was a big hit with our grandkids - and the Ninja and Water Magic shows we saw were good too. Be prepared to remove your shoes to enter some of the show areas though. Good is available, but the queues can be long.
