Japan's Beloved 100+ Year Amusement Park, Toshimaen
We love amusement parks! So this time we went to Tokyo's very own Toshimaen, an amusement park with a history of about 100 years. Toshimaen Park is perfect for those of all ages. It has roller coasters, petting zoos, a GORGEOUS ancient merry-go-round, a coy fish fishing area, and more. Then for the winter there's a limited illumination and skating center for the winter!
WINTER ILLUMINATION AT TOSHIMAEN
Toshimaen Winter Fantasia
⏰: Sunset to 7:30pm (until 6pm on 12/31, 1/2, and 1/3)
Tokyo during the winter gets dark pretty early. Once it does (around 4:30pm), that's when all the lights come out to play at Toshimaen! A lot of the area was pretty "American" themed, but it was still really pretty and something to enjoy!
Tochimaen Skate Rink
📅12/9/2017~2/28/2016 (closed on Jan 16th)
Adjacent from Toshimaen is an old school outdoor skating rink! We say it's old school because apparently every night they build the ice by spraying water on the rink every night.
💴:‣Skate set (park and rink entrance with skate rental) 2100yen adults/1600 kids under 12
‣Skate rink entry: 600yen
‣Skate rental: 700yen
110 Year Old Carousel – EL DORADO
This merry-go-round has a history of touring all over Europe, then America before settling in Toshimaen in 1970.
It was built by a German craftsman, still containing all of its art and beautiful attention to detail. This merry-go-round is simply beautiful!

Have you sat down for a snack at Sumida Aquarium yet? This aquarium next to Tokyo Skytree is known for its penguins and garden eels, but we can't get enough of their cute snacks! There are lots of good seats around the aquarium, too, so it almost feels like one big cafe. 🐧 • Find out more at Japankuru.com!

For anime fans, the Evangelion areas at Small Worlds Miniature Museum are a must see! The tiny miniature people in the Evangelion Hangar look like ants beneath the moving Unit-01, Unit-00, and Unit-02! And over in Tokyo-III, characters like Shinji, Rei, and Katsuragi live life on a miniature scale. #odaiba #tokyo #tokyotrip #japantrip #japantravel #ariake #smallworlds #miniaturemuseum #smallworldstokyo #tokyotravel #evangelion #eva #anime #miniature #miniatures #animefigure #japankuru #스몰월드 #에반게리온 #오다이바 #오다이바관광 #오다이바스몰월드 #미니어쳐
