Fuji-Q Highland overview
Fuji-Q Highland at a glance
A Japanese thrill park with record-breaking coasters and views of Mount Fuji.
Fuji-Q Highland is a thrill specialist that has held four Guinness world records at once, all staged directly beneath Mount Fuji. Fujiyama was the world's tallest coaster in 1996, Dodonpa held the fastest acceleration record, Eejanaika is one of only three 4th-dimension coasters ever built, and Takabisha's 121-degree drop remains the steepest in the world.
Queues are long and the Sengoku-era haunted hospital walkthrough is genuinely punishing, but the Fuji backdrop is unmatched.
Our editor's recommendation
Worth a day, but build it into a wider trip rather than flying in for it. It ranks #27 of the 50 parks we score, at 7.4/10 with 50 rides and attractions and a typical visit of about 6 hours. Tickets run $38–$50 a day. The strongest reasons to go are its big-ticket thrill rides. The honest catch: tickets are expensive for what you get, and queues can be long. Best time to visit: Autumn.
