What Kind of Place is Tokyo German Village?

Tokyo German Village in Chiba Prefecture is a large-scale countryside-themed theme park with nature-based activities. The entire park actually comes in at a whopping 19 Tokyo Domes in total size! You can enjoy various attractions while surrounded by green leaves and cute flowers, a zoo, and even some seasonal harvesting events depending on when you visit. You can reach the theme park in around 1 hour from within Tokyo which is extremely useful!

Filled with Attractions & Date Spots! Fun for All!

Within the park, you'll find many fun and interesting attractions perfect for both kids and couples, over 20 in total actually! There's even a Ferris wheel from which you can see Mt. Fuji and Tokyo Bay, you may even see some of the wild birds surrounding the pond! There's also a safe "mini" coaster ridable by 3-year-olds and above, which is extremely popular and makes you want to ride it just hearing about it! It's very easy to lose track of time here, and before you know it you'll have spent the whole day playing...

There are also some animal-shaped tricycles, strangly shaped bikes and more that you're able to ride. Try it out with the enitre family ♪

An Abundance of Seasonal Photograph Spots

In Spring within the park you'll find rapeseed flowers, and Bassia scoparia, roses, and marigolds in fall!

There are always beautiful flowers up for display throughout the year, and there are also seasonal events held throughout. It's relaxing to walk through the park and look at the flowers while taking some amazing photographs to wow your friends on your SNS channels.

We especially recommend checking out the cutely-shaped Bassia scoparia. In Summer, the green-leaved Bassia scoparia will refresh your very soul. Once fall rolls around, they start changing color and give off a new expression.

Don't Miss Kanto's Largest Illumination Event!

One of the more popular events throughout the year is the illuminations during winter. The entire park is lit up during the night, creating a mystical atmosphere. You can see some 3D illuminations from the Ferris wheel, and experience the "Light and Sound Show" as well as Tokyo German Village's legendary "Rainbow Tunnel"!

We especially recommend taking some pictures of the cute pirate ship! As expected of Kanto's largest illumination event. It's all so beautiful, that it's almost as if you might forget your way home...
