Conquer the Thrills: The Ultimate Guide to Fuji-Q Highland

Nestled at the base of the iconic Mount Fuji, Fuji-Q Highland is Japan’s premier destination for adrenaline junkies. Since 1968, this park has evolved from a local attraction into a world-renowned theme park, famous for its record-breaking roller coasters and immersive anime-themed lands. Whether you are looking to drop down the world’s steepest slopes or enjoy a magical day with family, Fuji-Q offers an unforgettable adventure against the backdrop of a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The Titan Coasters: For the Brave

FUJIYAMA – The King of Coasters Hold on tight for the “King.” Once the tallest coaster in the world, Fujiyama still reigns supreme with a staggering height of 79 meters and speeds reaching 130 km/h. It’s not just about the drop; the climb offers a breathtaking view of Mt. Fuji before plunging you into excitement.
Eejanaika – The 4th Dimension Hypercoaster Prepare to lose your sense of “up” and “down.” As one of only three 4D coasters in the world, Eejanaika features seats that rotate 360 degrees independently of the track. With 14 inversions—the highest in the world—it is a gravity-defying journey that challenges even the most seasoned thrill-seekers.
Takabisha – The World’s Steepest Drop If you thought a vertical drop was scary, think again. Takabisha holds the world record for the steepest drop at 121 degrees. The ride begins in total darkness before launching you into a series of seven inversions and a heart-stopping plunge.
ZOKKON – The Newest High-Speed Rush Opened in 2023, ZOKKON is a unique motorbike-style coaster. Feel the wind on your face as you grip the handlebars through exhilarating launches, sudden twists, and a surprise backward segment.

Immersive Experiences & Horror

The Super Scary Labyrinth of Fear Ranked as one of the longest and scariest haunted houses in the world, this is set in a massive, abandoned hospital.
