Details
A strange and beautiful place for lovers of retro Japan located near the Mount Tsukuba ropeway. There's a souvenir shop on the main floor, and a restaurant that is basically never open on the second floor. The entrance to the semi-abandoned theme-park on the second floor is free to enter. Here you will see a handful of retro playground items and some spaceships! They are all totally unkempt but fun to explore. You will see many frog statues around here, and if you're there at the right time you may see some real tadpoles or frogs! There's an indoor kind of horror-themed area that you have to pay to enter. Go into the souvenir shop and ask about entry to go inside!
