LEGOLAND Japan
レゴランド・ジャパン
A LEGO theme park for children aged 2–12, with a miniature Japan built from 17 million bricks and more than 40 rides and attractions.
LEGOLAND Japan lies on Kinjo Futo in Nagoya Port. It opened in 2017 as Asia’s second LEGO theme park and covers about 9.3 hectares. It is aimed mainly at children aged 2–12 and their families. The park has more than 40 rides and shows across eight areas: Factory, LEGO City, Adventure, Knights’ Kingdom, Pirate Shore, Miniland, Ninja World and Brick Town. Highlights: Miniland recreates famous sights from Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya, Sapporo and other cities using about 10 million bricks, including Shibuya Crossing, Tokyo Tower, Himeji Castle, Kinkaku-ji, Nagoya Castle and Chubu Centrair Airport, with detailed craftsmanship that adults also find captivating. In the Factory, you can see how LEGO bricks are produced and take home a freshly made brick. The rides are mainly small roller coasters, flying theatres, water adventures and a driving school (where children drive electric cars and take a ‘driver’s licence’ test), suited to younger children rather than thrill-seeking adults. Next to the park are the LEGOLAND Hotel (rooms themed with pirates, ninjas, princesses and more), the SEA LIFE Nagoya aquarium, and the Maker’s Pier dining and shopping area. Ticket prices fluctuate: adults pay about ¥4,500–7,400 and children about ¥3,300–5,200. Buying online in advance is cheaper than on the day, and combined tickets with SEA LIFE are available. Getting there: take the Aonami Line from Nagoya Station to the terminus at Kinjo Futo Station, about 24 minutes, then walk about 10 minutes. Plan a full day, or 4–5 hours if you only see Miniland and some attractions. Note: food inside is expensive, so bring your own water; the park closes on irregular dates, so check the official calendar before you go. Kinjo Futo is also home to the SCMaglev and Railway Park (JR Central’s railway museum showcasing Shinkansen and maglev trains, ¥1,000), which can be visited on the same day.
